Nero d'avola Sicile vin rouge fortifié

Origin

Sicily

Nero d’Avola in fortified or passito version — an autochthonous Sicilian red variety produced as Passito, vino d’uva appassita, by drying grapes on racks or on the vine, or in a fortified Marsala rosso-style version — gives a wine of exceptional concentration and richness, very different from dry Nero d’Avola.
