CARUSO & MININI NEBACCO NERO d’AVOLA 2021

Caruso & Minini is a winery located in Marsala, the most western coastal city of Sicilia, where Marsala wines are produced.

Native to Sicily, Nero d’Avola, which translates to "Black of Avola," produces wines with a dark, robust character. The mix of Sicily’s arid, Mediterranean heat and its large diurnal swings is conducive to creating ripe wines with retained acidity. Nero d’Avola is Sicily’s most planted red grape.

Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Only one third of the wine is aged in barrique for 4 months, just the needed time to build some structure without compromising the freshness. The wine strikes with its density and its royal ruby coloUr. In one’s nose is rich of scents, deep and pure. Mature red fruits merged with herbs and ripe cherry. Expresses excellent varietal character, featuring smooth, velvety tannins and incredibly harmonious balance."

90/100 Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, December 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"The scarlet, fruity nose has notes of cherries, strawberries, raspberries and pomegranates, while a puff of brick dust provides depth. That blaze of fruit grows sweeter and more syrupy on the palate, but a kick of spice works with dusty tannins and bright acid to maintain balance."
