Sallier De La Tour Nero D’Avola 2020 750 ML

Arguably the most well-known grape from Sicily, Nero d’Avola is perfectly suited for the island’s terroir given its ability to thrive in saline-rich soils and maintain its acidity in the heat. Low yields guarantee a high quality and concentrated harvest. Choosing to age wine partly in wood and partly in steel tanks, allows the wine to display the fresh and fruited notes of a young wine as well as elegant, spicy and licorice aromas of wines with more aging potential. A firm and lightly chewy nero d’avola with earth and spice and some mushroom undertones. Medium body, solid tannins and a fresh, savory finish. Producer Information Tasca d’Almerita is a wine producer with vineyards distributed around Sicily. The company’s history dates back to 1830, although it wasn’t until the 1950s that proprietor Count Guiseppe Tasca began to focus on quality, rather than bulk production. Today, its wines are exported to four continents. There are five wine estates, as described below, the largest of which is the original one, Tenuta Regaleali. Winemaking processes differ across the properties as grape varieties and terroir vary considerably. Both traditional and contemporary techniques are applied. The company holds several Sicilian certifications for sustainability.
