“Bianco di Morgante” da uve nere 2022
Bianco di Morgante is a pure Nero d'Avola. However, the typical Sicilian red grape was vinified without contact with the skins, resulting in this very successful and exceptionally finesse-rich white wine. Silky and brilliant, this experimental wine impresses with its balance, freshness and lightness. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2022 Bianco Di Morgante is a varietal Nero d'Avola vinified white. It opens with a fresh, airy blend of white flowers, incense and spice. This is soft upon entry yet with a buzz of zesty acidity and saline minerals that sizzle across the palate. The 2022 tapers off fresh and with medium length, leaving a salty flourish to linger."

A good dose of acidity and its complexity predestine it to be a characterful and racy companion to aromatic fish and vegetable dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

“Controdanza” Rosso Sicilia Noto DOC 2020
The country dance (controdanza) is a typical dance in which man and woman face each other and unite in graceful movements - depending on their gender, the dancers interpret the music in their own way. This wine is exactly the same: Nero d'Aola and Merlot - opposites attract and, with the right sensitivity, can harmonise and contrast wonderfully.
Strong purple colour. Mulberry and plum contrast with incense and balsamic notes. The grapes all come from chalky soils, which in turn creates a bridge and makes this young wine balanced and harmonious. Soft tannins and a beautifully integrated, delicate acidity carry Controdanza into a supple, medium-length finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium ruby colour with garnet-red reflections. Inviting on the nose, fruity flavours of cherry and wild berries, underpinned by spicy notes. Full fruit on the palate, dense tannins, mouth-filling, juicy with a lingering final." Falstaff
"Fragrant, with floral, spice and mineral accents, this shows a creamy range of plumped cherry and warmed fig fruit flavors that wrap lightly chewy tannins. Fresh, lingering finish." Wine Spectator
"Aromas of baked cherry, mushroom, basil and grated nutmeg. Medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins. Nicely ripened red fruit on the palate, with subtle savory character. Vanilla finish." James Suckling

Ruby red colour, appealing, slightly reductive aroma of ripe blackberries and elderberries, quite dense on the palate, certain fruit sweetness, good harmony between juicy acidity and velvety tannins, elegant finish with traces of cassis. SUPERIORE.DE
"The Tenuta Regaleali Tasca d'Almerita 2020 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Lamùri opens with a dark colour and a rich concentration of pressed blackberries, Mediterranean herbs, black olives and scorched earth. You can feel the fruit concentration of a hot and sunny vintage." Wine Advocate
"The Nero d'Avola Lamuri 2020 opens slowly in the glass, dusty and floral with floral undergrowth and smouldering ash stone forming its bouquet. It is soft and pure in style, with mineral-tinged red and black fruits accompanied by a lively acidity. On the finish, tart notes of wild berries and citrus fruits leave a bitter aftertaste." Vinous
"On the nose, this wine develops rich floral and fruity aromas of black cherry, violet and rose petals as well as stony notes of cobblestones and gravel. On the palate, it shows its best side. A savoury blend of spices, earth and a hint of balsamic vinegar meets more berries. The tannins are strong and chewy, and the acidity is restrained." Wine Enthusiast
"It's a Nero of striking density and intensity but with excellent balance. Earthy dark fruit aromas complement the sticky, spicy palate, with streaks of chocolate, salt and fresh herbs." Decanter
"A very solid and beautiful red with blackberries, asphalt and violets. Underneath it all is a berry compote. Medium to full body, chewy tannins and a juicy finish." James Suckling

“Zisola” Rosso Sicilia Noto DOC 2021
Zisola, from the eponymous winery of the Mazzei family in Sicily, is an exceptionally well-made single-varietal Nero d'Avola. Elegantly shining ruby red with a delicately lightening rim. In the flattering fruit bouquet, ripe forest berries and rose hips, lightly reminiscent of blood orange with a hint of cocoa. Juicy and clear on the palate with hearty red fruit, powerful and soft on the final. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2021 Zisola is darkly floral and herbal in the glass, mixing earth tones with dried flowers, sage and crushed blackberries. This is soft and round with a mineral tinge that comes in early as tart wild berry fruits ride a core of brisk acidity. Sour citrus mingles with saline minerals as the 2021 finishes with a lovely freshness, lightly structured yet welcoming all the same. The Zisola is a perfect option for drinking now while waiting for the Doppiozeta to mature. Nicely done." Vinous
"Bright ruby red with violet reflections. Seductive nose, complex fruit play, cherry, raspberry and plum, fresh thyme. Animating and light on its feet on the palate, ripe tannin, well-integrated acidity, some elderberry on the final, lingers." Falstaff
"Sweet berries and hints of wood with dried flowers on the nose. Bark, too. Medium-bodied with firm and creamy-textured tannins and a fresh and clean finish." James Suckling

Nero di Lupo is - in contrast to many other single-varietal Nero d'Avola - a fresh and rather light wine, but no less interesting. Intense aroma of sour cherries and herbs, the bright, friendly taste is exceedingly fruity, lively and silky. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2020 Nero di Lupo impresses with its savory blend of grilled sage, flinty crushed rocks and citrus-tinged red currants. It’s round in feel with lively acids to balance, as sour cherry mixed with hints of tangerine gives way to saline-mineral tones toward the close. A bitter trace and nuances of plum skins linger through the long and spicy finale. The Nero di Lupo is a zesty, varietal Nero d'Avola that will excel at the dinner table." Vinous

"The Saia 2020 is seductively dark and opens with a blend of red plums, sage, smoke and tangerine peel. It is soft and round and shows ripe red and blue fruits, sweet herbs and dark chocolate. The juicy acidity ensures that the 2020 finishes long and pleasantly acidic. Traces of sour citrus fruits slowly fade away. This incredibly beautiful Nero d'Avola wants to please." Vinous
"This medium to full-bodied red wine is well-structured and balanced, with a slight hint of balsamico acidity that enlivens concentrated flavours of blackberry, roasted plum, violet, espresso and smoke. The fine tannins provide fine definition and firm up the slightly chalky finish." Wine Spectator
"The organically certified 2020 Sicilia Saia is a pure Nero d'Avola from one of the most beautiful areas of rural Sicily in Noto. This red wine shows medium concentration with dark fruits, ripe cherries, black olives and sweet earthy tones. It is richly structured and finishes with soft, sweet tannins. This is a great wine for the kitchen." Wine Advocate
"Aromas of black liquorice, crushed plums and ground spices. Medium to full body with powdery but firm tannins. Fresher and crisper than previous vintages. The red and black fruits on the palate are nicely articulated by a steady acidity and some mineral notes." James Suckling
"Pure Nero d'Avola from the area between Noto and Pachino, 14 months in French barriques, a wine of great stature. On the nose, notes of blackberries, violets and a hint of juniper on the finish. Compact and juicy on the palate, with brackish tannins, fruity flavours and a long, spicy finish." Luca Gardini

“Santa Cecilia” Nero d’Avola Sicilia Noto DOC 2020
Deep, bright ruby red in colour. This 100% Nero d'Avola is a captivating wine with its full-bodied, fruity and spicy aroma of blackcurrants, cherries, undergrowth, liquorice and dark chocolate. The soft but firm, multi-layered and warm flavour of ripe berries, the fine spice and the fine tannins are very appealing. SUPERIORE.DE
"It is a well-made Nero d'Avola with a purity and freshness in its ripe character of red and black berries and cherries. Intense and savoury, with tangy acidity, it shows juicy cherries and black fruits along with notes of chocolate and balsamic and mouth-coating tannins. Full and rich in fruit, but quite vertical in style, it is a lively and storable example of what can be achieved with this typical Sicilian grape." Decanter
"The 2020 Santa Cecilia, a single varietal Nero d'Avola, rises from the glass with a dark and brooding blend of crushed plums, cloves, stone dust and a hint of camphor. It's round and supple with juicy acidity that retains a lovely energy, and bright red and blue fruits spill across the palate. The 2020 finishes with a bitter touch of savoury spice and a hint of sour citrus, while a layer of fine tannins lingers. The 2020 is a very beautiful and balanced wine for medium-term cellaring." Vinous
"Bright and fragrant, with a lush creaminess that carries flavors of strawberry preserves, dried cherry, tar, tea rose and singed orange peel. Well-spiced and minerally, with lightly chalky tannins providing fine definition." Wine Spectator
"The Santa Cecilia 2020 is one of Sicily's iconic wines, a Nero d'Avola clothed in elegance and precision. The wine is softly structured and multi-layered with dark fruits, black cherries, spices and sweet tobacco. The Santa Cecilia takes a classic approach with a balance between generous fruit and carefully managed oak." Wine Advocate
"Aromas of blackberries, flowers and dark earth with a hint of fresh black mushrooms. Medium to full body with round and creamy tannins and a delicious undertone. Just a hint of vanilla bean underneath the fruit." James Suckling

The black one from Avola. Avola is a small town near the famous excavations of Syracuse, in the southeast of Sicily. Nero simply means black. Nero d'Avola is a very old autochthonous grape variety. First mentions as "Calaurisi", which refer to the same small town in the Sicilian dialect, already existed in the 17th century. Nevertheless, little is known about this demanding grape variety to this day. For decades it served mainly as a blending partner to enhance other Italian and also French red wines, to make them darker and more full-bodied. Only when autochthonous grape varieties became modern again, Nero d'Avola was filled again under his name - and blended with international varieties, which had previously been planted in large quantities in Sicily. The result was a wine that could be found in almost every supermarket for little money. But in rather sad mass-produced quality.
Only a few years ago, oenologists at the top Sicilian wineries recognized the potential that was slumbering there and began to make the black wine from Avola what it could have always been. To the showcase red wine of the island. Since then, there is hardly a well-known Sicilian winery that does not have an excellent Nero d'Avola in its assortment. The international success is downright uncanny, the awards in all guides and magazines prove it. And - with the Nero d'Avola, the renaissance of autochthonous grape varieties began.
To this day, no ancestry has been proven. The grape variety probably comes from Sicily, possibly also from Calabria, because some of the old synonyms have "Calabrese" as a component. However, there is also the opinion that this Calabrese is the Italian interpretation of the Sicilian dialect word "Calaurisi", which in turn means "the grape coming from Avola".
Nero d'Avola matures relatively late, but is extremely resistant to heat and drought. He loves the warmth. Therefore, it is usually kept low to have the grapes hanging close to the ground. Many vineyards are even planted in the old Albarello-Reberziehung (also Gobelet- or single stock-education), which can be cultivated only laboriously. Nero d'Avola produces deep dark, tannin-rich and full-bodied red wines, which nevertheless do not lack natural acidity and therefore always present themselves quite fresh, which one would hardly expect with such a dark wine from Sicily. The scent is balsamic and spicy, dark berry, often with a touch of cedar or leather. Juicy on the palate with hints of plums, elderberries and blackberries. High-quality Nero d'Avola also have several years of maturing potential. In short: an autochthonous Sicilian for lovers of powerful red wines.
With over 20,000 hectares of vineyards, Nero d'Avola is widespread in Sicily and is approved in several DOC and DOCG wines. With the renaissance of the variety, it was also cultivated more often in Calabria. Tendency rising. SUPERIORE.DE
