Mont'Albano Nero d'Avola 2018 (Italy)

Description

Red ruby with violet hues in the glass with an intense forest-berry bouquet alongside hints of violets and spices. Supple, velvety taste with a spicy finish.

Mont’Albano was founded in 1985 in the heart of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, as a result of the intuition of Mauro Braidot who, unlike the majority of the producers of the time, converted his 5 hectares (12.3 acres) of vineyard to organic production. Since these early beginings the company has not taken long to  grow, thanks to its philosophy and its excellent wines from Friuli.

If this grape isn't on your radar, then we think it should be as its Sicily's most important red varietal! This particualr Nero D'Avola was sourced from Monte Albano's Southwestern Sicilian organic vineyards. In the winery these grapes weere aged in stainless steel.

Food Pairing: Perfect match to game, beef, braised meat and aged cheeses.
