Nero D'Avola

Nero d’Avola is Sicily’s most famous red grape variety, known for its bold fruit flavours, smooth tannins, and vibrant acidity. In Australia, Nero d’Avola thrives in warm-climate regions, where it produces wines with rich notes of dark berries, plum, spice, and earthy undertones. Its natural freshness and medium-to-full body make it a versatile wine, enjoyable both as a single varietal and in blends.

Australian winemakers are increasingly embracing Nero d’Avola for its ability to retain acidity in hot conditions, making it well-suited to Mediterranean-style winemaking. With its food-friendly nature and balanced structure, Nero d’Avola is an exciting addition to Australia’s growing collection of alternative red varieties.
