Nero d'Avola 750ml
-
Description
Embracing both innovation and tradition, Bird in Hand's venture into producing Nero d'Avola is a nod to the winery's adaptability and adventurous spirit. Originating from Sicily, Nero d'Avola is a grape that has found a new and promising home in the diverse soils of the Adelaide Hills, and Bird in Hand's rendition speaks volumes about this successful transplantation.
In the glass, the wine exhibits a radiant ruby-red hue, reminiscent of Sicilian sunsets. The aromatic profile is inviting and generous, with notes of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and a touch of Mediterranean herbs, evoking memories of sun-kissed Sicilian orchards. As the nose deepens, there are subtle hints of licorice and dried roses, adding layers to its complexity.
The palate is greeted by a wine of surprising freshness and vibrancy. Juicy red fruits dominate, but the Nero d'Avola's signature medium-bodied character ensures the wine never feels overly heavy. Layers of raspberry, pomegranate, and hints of black tea weave together harmoniously, with a gentle undertone of spice and minerality. The tannins are soft yet present, guiding the wine to a finish that is both refreshing and lingering.
Given its Mediterranean origins, Bird in Hand's Nero d'Avola pairs exceptionally well with a range of dishes from the region. Think grilled vegetables drizzled with olive oil, pasta dishes with tomato and basil, or even a traditional Sicilian pizza. The wine's balanced acidity also makes it versatile for a range of cuisines, from Asian to Latin American.
With its Nero d'Avola, Bird in Hand showcases the potential of the Adelaide Hills to embrace and excel with diverse grape varieties. It is a delightful testament to the region's adaptability, and the winery's dedication to producing wines that are both expressive and evocative. This bottle is not just a drink, but a journey from the Adelaide Hills to the sun-soaked coasts of Sicily.
