THE PRINCE OF SICILIAN VARIETIES
Nero d'Avola
Prince of the native Sicilian red vines, NERO D'AVOLA, also known as CALABRESE or CALABRESE D'AVOLA, takes its name from the ancient lineage of the "Calabresi", originally from Modica which extended its lands from the county town to Avola which he had taken care of its cultivation almost exclusively.
CASA VINICOLA PALLAVICINO has been producing this surprising vine in purity for over thirty years, enhancing its characteristics and differentiating it into three distinct personalities: the Amabile, the Secco, and the Barricato.
The Lovely
L'AMABILE, “il Ruffiano”, characterized by a perceptible residual sugar, an intense red color with violet reflections.
A young, full-bodied, alcoholic and at the same time soft wine.
It goes well with legume dishes, fresh cheeses, ricotta, jams and, if you can, marry it with a prickly pear and honey. Serving temperature 12°-14°.
The Dry
THE DRY, “the Egocentric”. He knows he is worth it, he doesn't like any external influence.
After the alcoholic fermentation, and followed by the malolactic fermentation, it only wants to rest for 6/8 months in stainless steel tanks.
You will appreciate the true essence of NERO D'AVOLA. Ruby red in color, bright and lively, it stands out for its notes of red berry fruit.
Excel with cured meats, red meats, medium-aged cheeses.
Serving temperature around 18°.
The Barricade
THE BARRICATO, “the Elegant”. Once the alcoholic fermentation, the malolactic fermentation and the rest in stainless steel tanks for 6/8 months have been completed, this NERO D'AVOLA is further refined in 25 hl oak barrels for approximately 10 months. In this period of time, the micro-oxygenation and the release of tannic substances from the wood give it a new personality. The colors range from purplish ruby to garnet.
On the nose the aromas become spicy and acquire notes of leather, tobacco and chocolate. Alcohol content 14°. Serving temperature 20°.
It goes well with meats in sauce, ricotta ravioli, grilled meat, roasts and cured meats.
