Chalk Hill Nero D Avola

Chalk Hill Nero d'Avola showcases a bold California interpretation of the Sicilian grape, grown in Sonoma's Chalk Hill region. It delivers dark fruit shoulders—plum and blackberry—with a touch of mocha and spice, backed by solid structure. A versatile choice for hearty pasta dishes, grilled meats, and tomato-based fare. Tasting notes: - Appearance: Deep ruby, clear - Aroma: Black cherry, blackberry, and plum; hints of cocoa, coffee, and subtle pepper - Palate: Full-bodied with medium-plus acidity and firm, polished tannins; flavors echo the nose with dark fruit, cocoa, and gentle oaky spice - Finish: Long and savory with a lingering spice note - Pairings: Grilled steak, lamb, sausages, and robust tomato-based pasta dishes
