Territoriali Coste a Preola Nero d'Avola
Coste a Preola is the name chosen to pay tribute to Sicily and its biodiversity: this is the name of the vineyards' area, located in this western part of the island, close to the Mediterranean Sea and to the WWF Nature Reserve Lake Preola and Gorghi Tondi. The hints of Coste a Preola Nero d'Avola are an emblem of the beauty of a unique territory suited to quality viticulture for millennia.
Bright ruby red color with violet reflections. Good complexity on the nose, with a pleasant spicy note, hints of black cherry and wild berries. Rich, intense, soft, and with well-balanced tannins on the palate, and a long finish. Brilliantly matched with grilled red meat, game, truffle dishes, spicy and seasoned cheeses.
