Sicily<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s renaissance as one of Italy\u2019s most important wine producing regions has been nothing short of remarkable in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For so long, the region was maligned<\/em> as the producer of average wines that were never going to gain critical acclaim. Unfortunately, this reputation carried through for many years after local producers took steps to improve the wine\u2019s that Sicily produces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, their efforts are starting to bear fruit. Wines from Sicily are slowing gaining the acclaim<\/strong> that they have deserved for so long. In fact, many a wine critic will point to the best examples of Sicilian wines as being well-kept secrets that people who show far more interest in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re delighted to see this turnaround in fortunes, which has even seen the United States develop a taste for the Sicilian vines. And to celebrate the region\u2019s rise back to prominence, we thought that we\u2019d take a look at its most important red wine grape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re talking, of course, about the wonderful Nero d\u2019Avola<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Basics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some of you may know Nero d\u2019Avola better as the Calabrese <\/em>grape, which is a name that many of the local Sicilian producers call it by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This name is a source of contention in its own right. Some argue that it proves that the grape actually originates from the region of Calabria<\/a>. However, others may tell you that the name comes from the term \u201cCalaurisi\u201d<\/em>, which is an ancient term<\/strong> for somebody who comes from the town of Avola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, it may be the single most important red wine grape<\/strong> in all of Sicily\u2019s wine industry. Vineyards containing the grape are found practically all over the island, which results in vast quantities of the grape coming from the region. For centuries, it has stood as the backbone of many of the best wines that Sicily has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grape is known for having an exceptionally dark skin<\/strong>, which means it also produces some very dense examples of red wine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s as interesting to us is that the name of the grape itself is also distinctly Sicilian. You can find the coastal town of Avola <\/strong>in Sicily\u2019s southeast. It has long been one of the most important trading posts<\/strong> on the island, so it makes sense that it would also be home to Sicily\u2019s most important grape. After all, Avola would be the perfect place to go for any wine producer who wants to ship their wares elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Brief History<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can trace Nero d\u2019Avola <\/em>all the way back to the Middle Ages<\/strong>. Back then, the grape\u2019s dark colouring was its most important feature. Though producers of the time did create wines using the grape, it was far more common for them to ship batches of Nero d\u2019Avola to the mainland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There, they\u2019d be used by other producers to lend some much-needed colour to some of the lesser wines produced on the mainland. While this highlights the quality of the grape, it may also have helped to give rise to the idea that Sicily does not produce great grapes. After all, many would find themselves discovering the grape from a relatively poor wine. That\u2019s not the fault of Nero d\u2019Avola, but it surely left an impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, this use as a blending grape<\/strong> has defined most of Nero d\u2019Avola\u2019s history. It predominantly served the same function throughout much of the 20th<\/sup>century. Again, this led to many people underestimating the grape. Some even saw it as little more than a natural colourant<\/strong> that served no purpose beyond making a wine appear darker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, the 21st<\/sup>century came and with it came the renaissance of Sicilian wines<\/strong>. Nero d\u2019Avola finally came to the forefront as a varietal. Today, it\u2019s not difficult to find wines made using only the grape. And it\u2019s those wines that prove the quality that so many doubted for so long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can You Expect From Nero d\u2019Avola<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s entirely likely that you\u2019ve never tried a Nero d\u2019Avola wine<\/a><\/strong> before. If that\u2019s the case, you are definitely in for a treat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wine comes from a region that shares a similar climate <\/strong>to other Mediterranean regions. As such, the grape produces wines that have many similar qualities to the wonderful Syrah of Shiraz<\/em>, which likely gives you an instant impression of what to expect from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wine tends to offer sweet tannins with heavy notes of plum<\/strong> defining it. However, some varieties add a little complexity into the mix by introducing peppery notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the wine appears owes much to the production method. When produced in oak barrels<\/strong>, the grape creates a dark wine that\u2019s dense in terms of flavour. It\u2019s these varieties of Nero d\u2019Avola that also offer the most potential for ageing<\/strong>. Such examples also tend to offer more interesting notes, which raspberry and chocolate being among the most common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the younger and fresher versions of the wine that tend to exhibit the fruitiest notes. As such, there\u2019s plenty of variety to find when you\u2019re poring through Nero d\u2019Avola wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally speaking, a Nero d\u2019Avola will offer medium acidity with high tannins<\/strong>. You\u2019ll also take note of a distinctive body that lends the wine a very powerful structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This power tends to wane when drinking varieties grow at higher elevations. This is by no means a bad thing. It just means that cooler climates restrict the grape\u2019s sugar content, which leads to lower alcohol volumes<\/strong>. Thus, these examples of the wine tend to be more palatable for those who prefer a fresher taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, it\u2019s also popularly used to create a Ros\u00e9 wine. Again, this shows the versatility <\/strong>of the grape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Final Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nero d\u2019Avola<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s rise in prominence has led to the global wine industry taking notice. The grape has finally started to follow some of its peers, as it\u2019s being trialled in both Australia and California as we speak. Both regions offer ideal temperatures for the grape, which means we may see America and Australian Nero d\u2019Avola<\/em> wines sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But of course, it\u2019s the Sicilian original that will always be the most beloved. It\u2019s a true example of a grape that\u2019s finally achieving the recognition <\/strong>that it\u2019s been denied for so long.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
