I fell in love with the Nero d'Avola grape during my trips to Italy as a young winemaker. The black grape from Avola is native to Sicily, the southern island at the tip of the Italian peninsula. I visited the vineyards of Avola, and was struck by their many similarities to our home in McLaren Vale. Now, decades later, we make a tiny batch of Nero d'Avola in the Vale, and the results are stunning. This is a spicy, savoury red which bursts with black plum and cherry fruit flavours. This wine is the ultimate match for Mediterranean cooking. I love serving it alfresco with dishes like Veal Scallopine with Herb and Tomato.
