IGT Nero D'Avola: The Nero d'Avola IGT is one of the best-structured red wines you can find. The Nero d'Avola grape variety always produces a high-sugar content fruit, which makes it possible to produce a wine with over 15% alcoholic content. However, by following certain criteria, Vinicola Tombacco was able to reduce its sugar content and to raise its acidity.

  

Varietal: Nero d'Avola. Today's Nero D'Avola is grown over 14,000 hectares of land, and it is thus the most widespread grapevine in the region of Sicily. The Nero D'Avola varietal is mostly grown with the ancient small-tree method or by trellis.

  

About the Producer: The Vinicola Tombacco wine cellar was established almost a century ago, in Trebaseleghe, a small rural village in the heart of the northeast of Italy, between the cities of Venice and Padua. As the Italian wine commerce shifted to this area, the cellar expanded its markets and commercial activities beyond this region. Aware of its heritage, the cellar reached out by diligently developing trusting relationships with a number of winemakers and by seizing the opportunity to select the best wines, both locally and throughout Italy . The past teaches us how to select the barrel for a particular harvest or production, the research allows us to obtain consistent results in quality and the development allows us to minimize bottling problems. Each phase is just as important, and the skills necessary to be able to harmonize the past and the present, technology and tradition, research and territory, can only be the result of passion and love for this wonderful product, which is wine.

 

Tasting Notes: This fine wine features a strong intense ruby red colour and great character, well balanced and warm.  The bouquet is rich with ripe cherry and blackberry fruit scents backed by nuances of earth, herbs, black pepper and bay leaf. On the palate, the wine is juicy, ripe and lively with hearty black fruit and cherry flavors enhanced by herbal and spice elements that give it an assertive and pleasantly mouthfilling character. Sicilian cuisine is noted for bold and robust flavors and the Terre Nuove has the stuffing to match. Dry, full, balanced.

 

Recommended Food Pairings: Roasts, fried food, stews of both white and read meat, poultry and game. Good persistence on the palate calls for hearty, everyday cuisine like pasta with meat sauce or roast chicken.
