Varietal: Nero D'avola
On the beautiful, sun-drenched island of Sicily in Italy, one of the most important grape varietals grown is the Nero d'Avola, a versatile fruit which is used in the production of excellent, full bodied and flavorful still wines, as well as the famous Marsala fortified wines traditionally made on the island. The Nero d'Avola grape has been cultivated on Sicily for centuries, most notably in the region of Avola from where it takes its name. However, in recent years it has also been grown in several parts of the New World, where it thrives best in hot and arid locations. The Nero d'Avola is notable for its spicy and peppery nature, and the strong plummy flavors it holds. The thick and dark skins of the fruit have a relatively high tannin and acid content, producing deep and complex wines.
Region: Sicily
Sicily has been an important wine region for thousands of years, with the ancient Greek settlers being among the first to discover its remarkable aptitude for viticulture. It isn't difficult to understand why they were impressed, and nor is it hard to understand why the island's wine industry continues to boom to this day. The climate on Sicily is ideal for wine production – sunshine beating down on the vineyards almost all year round, and a highly fertile volcanic soil produced from such magnificent peaks as Mount Etna. Sicily's vineyards are mostly used for the production of sweet dessert wines and fortified wines, such as the famous wine of Marsala, but the variety found across the island is impressive, and results in a great range of dry white and red wines packed full of exciting fruit flavors.
Country: Italy
It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
