Pasqua Nero d’Avola Sicilia 2024 showcases the rich, sun-drenched character of Sicily’s most celebrated indigenous grape variety — fruit-forward, smooth, and velvety, with ripe blackberry, plum, and warm spice in perfect harmony. Rich ruby red with vibrant purple highlights; bold and inviting on the nose with dark cherry, Mediterranean herbs, and a whisper of vanilla emerging with aeration; medium to full-bodied on the palate with excellent structure and a perfectly harmonious finish of persistent dark fruit and gentle spice. Drink now or cellar for 3–5 years.
Appearance
Rich ruby red with vibrant purple highlights — the depth and intensity characteristic of Sicily’s finest Nero d’Avola, with excellent clarity and brilliant colour saturation that speaks to the sun-drenched conditions of the 2024 Sicilian vintage.
Aroma
Bold and inviting — ripe blackberry and plum leading the way, complemented by warm spice notes of cinnamon and clove. Subtle hints of dark cherry, Mediterranean herbs, and a whisper of vanilla emerge with aeration, creating a multi-layered aromatic profile that captures the essence of Sicilian terroir.
Palate
Smooth and velvety — concentrated flavours of ripe blackberry, plum, and dark cherry interwoven with warming cinnamon and clove. Medium to full-bodied with excellent structure and remarkable balance between fruit richness and natural acidity. The finish is perfectly harmonious, with persistent dark fruit and gentle spice lingering with elegance and warmth.
Pairs With
Grilled lamb, rich pasta with tomato-based sauces, aged Pecorino Romano, moussaka, ratatouille, wood-fired pizza, and roasted vegetables — or simply as a bold, fruit-forward red for any occasion. A versatile Sicilian red that complements bold flavours whilst maintaining its refined character.
