2023 Piantaferro INTRIGO Nero D'Avola D.O.C. Sicilia

rom the sun-drenched vineyards of Sicily, Piantaferro presents a bold and seductive expression of one of the island’s most iconic native grapes — Nero d’Avola. The 2023 INTRIGO Nero d’Avola D.O.C. Sicilia captures the warmth of the Mediterranean climate and the richness of Sicilian terroir, offering depth, opulence, and irresistible character in every glass.

Deep ruby red in colour with violet reflections, it opens with intense aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry, layered with notes of spice, violet, and a hint of cocoa and balsamic. The palate is medium to full-bodied and velvety, showcasing generous dark fruit, supple tannins, and balanced acidity, leading to a long, smooth, and gently spiced finish.

Lush, expressive, and beautifully structured, this Nero d’Avola is a true reflection of Sicily’s winemaking soul — bold, aromatic, and wonderfully satisfying.
