Aroma is complex, with notes of dried plum, cherry, blackberry, black currant, and raspberry but pleasantly balanced. The flavour is rich, ample and velvety, with great structure and aromatic persistence, graceful tannins and not too overly spicy. Nero d’Avola is a great wine to match with rich meaty meats. Some classic pairings include oxtail soup and beef stew, but you could easily swap BBQ burgers with bacon and everyone will think you’re a genius. The gamier the meat the better because it will simply make your wine taste more fruity and candy-like.
