Chiaramonte Nero D'Avola Firriato
Chiaramonte Nero d'Avola is the personification of Sicily's most important native grape variety - from its intense purple colour to its unmistakable character. Made from 100% Nero d'Avola, the nose is a rush of black fruits and spices. The palate is extraordinary round and complete, with a completely natural and effortless balance of tannin and acidity, structure and lenght.
