2023 Nero D’Avola, Clements Hills

Our 2023 Nero d’Avola from the Clements Hills AVA elegantly channels its Sicilian heritage, presenting a wine of striking personality. In this rendition, the sun-soaked Lodi vineyards have bestowed upon the grapes a velvety richness. Aromas of ripe blackberries and plums mingle with subtle hints of Mediterranean herbs, paying homage to the grape’s Sicilian roots.

This Nero d’Avola unfolds on the palate with a captivating interplay of light fruit flavors, accented by a touch of spice and a whisper of licorice. The wine’s smooth tannins and well-balanced acidity contribute to a harmonious and lingering finish. Lodi’s terroir imparts a California twist to this Italian classic, resulting in a 2023 Nero d’Avola that beautifully marries Old World charm with New World allure.
