Nero d’Avola according to the wine tasting panel of Wijnclub Amsterdam, it is the most characteristic Sicilian red grape. “The black grape of Avola” was likely selected several hundred years ago by growers near Avola, a small town in southeastern Sicily. Initially, cultivation was limited to the southern tip of the island, but recently it has spread more widely across the island. Zabu Chiantari Nero d’Avola has a soft, deep, slightly peppery flavor that improves with some aging, without losing its fruitiness.
Zabu is a part of the Zolla group. The vineyard is situated in the municipality of Sambuca di Sicilia. The grapes for this wine are lightly pressed to avoid harsh tannins. Maceration takes place in cool concrete tanks for 10-12 days. Subsequently, it is placed in barriques where malolactic fermentation takes place. Aging takes place in French oak barrels for at least 6 months.
In the opinion of the wine tasting panel, Zabu Chiantari Nero d’Avola offers very good value for money and, according to Vivino, ranks among the top 5% of all wines in this wine region.
The intense color of this wine is ruby red with purple reflections. Good intensity, fruity notes of plums and red flowers, balanced and warm. Full-bodied with a warm and long-lasting spicy oak finish. Serving temperature: 16-18°C.
This wine is delicious with appetizers, grilled or barbecued meat, game and poultry, and spiced cheese.
De wijn kan doorgaans 3 tot 5 jaar na de oogst worden bewaard. In deze periode blijft het rijpe fruit mooi aanwezig en ontwikkelt de wijn een nog zachtere structuur.
Deze wijn heeft een volle en fruitige stijl met zachte tannines en een ronde structuur. Daardoor is hij krachtig van smaak maar toch toegankelijk en prettig drinkbaar.
