Kuddia del Moro, Abraxas

The grape and wine Nero d’Avola is often associated to one dimension, full body, fruity wines, this one from Pantelleria is very different, I would say completely different.

If you had a Nero d’Avola before, some of the grape characteristics are there, but this is a wine that many dimensions, dimensions that are added by leaving the wine in the glass and breath, open up.

This is a very elegant Nero d'Avola, like an old Sicilian count, with a complex nose, with fruit and spices, with hints of cherries. In the mouth it is warm, smooth, lively, with black fruit flavour and a never ending, slightly mineral, finish. If you close your eyes you will find yourself sat on restaurant terrace in Pantelleria. Outstanding.
