2024 Coriole Nero d'Avola 6 Pack

Nero d'Avola, meaning "Black of Avola," is a red grape variety native to and historically cultivated in the southern regions of Sicily, Italy. Its name derives from the town of Avola, located on the southeastern coast of the island. This grape thrives in warm, dry, Mediterranean climates, characterized by abundant sunshine and low rainfall. These conditions allow Nero d'Avola to fully ripen, developing its characteristic fruit-forward flavors and robust structure. McLaren Vale, a renowned wine region in South Australia, shares a similar Mediterranean climate with southern Sicily. This climatic similarity makes it an ideal location for growing Nero d'Avola outside of its native Italy. The region's warm days, cool nights, and well-draining soils contribute to the successful cultivation of this variety. Coriole Vineyards, known for their innovative approach to winemaking and commitment to Mediterranean varieties, produces a distinct style of Nero d'Avola. Their approach emphasizes a "fruit-forward, youthful, and vibrant early drinking style." This means the wine is crafted to be enjoyed relatively young, showcasing the fresh, primary fruit flavors of the grape.
