Description
Nero d’Avola IGT 2001 Trentacinquesimo Oarallelo is a red wine from Sicily, Italy, produced by Oarallelo, a winery committed to showcasing the expressive power of the island’s native Nero d’Avola grape. The 2001 vintage reflects the varietal’s characteristic intensity and depth, combining rich fruit flavors with elegant structure and a subtle complexity gained through early aging.
Tasting Notes:
The wine displays a deep ruby-red color with garnet highlights along the rim. The bouquet is rich and inviting, with aromas of ripe black cherries, plums, and hints of dark berries, complemented by subtle tertiary notes of leather, spice, and gentle earthy undertones. Aeration reveals faint balsamic and mineral nuances, adding depth and sophistication to the wine.
On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, with smooth, integrated tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long and harmonious, featuring dark fruit, delicate spices, and earthy tones, reflecting both careful vinification and the expressive character of Nero d’Avola from Sicily.
Serving & Food Pairing:
Serve at around 16–18°C.
Pairs beautifully with roasted or braised meats, Sicilian-style stews, grilled vegetables, and medium-aged cheeses. Its structure and aromatic richness also make it rewarding to enjoy on its own.
