The nose is a complex tapestry of ripe black cherry, plum, and a whisper of dried herbs, underscored by a subtle minerality.

Still recovering from my recent journeys. \nBlack cherry, earthy undertones, and damp soil touches dominate the palate. A soft tang of sour cherry hangs in the mid-palate. A relatively light-bodied wine, with a trace of firmness, balanced tannins, and a touch of acidity. A mixed assessment, with some reviewers finding it underwhelming. Perhaps a misstep in the cellar.

Potent and intense combination of smoky, woody, and spicy notes, with a lingering aftertaste of charred wood and a hint of sweet, fruity undertones. A true fusion of contrasting elements, with the bold layers of the cigar tobacco cohesive by the dry, earthy nuances of the dried cranberries and apple peel.

Le Contrade Arcera Nero d'Avola offers a range of experiences. The 2014 vintage is noted for its black cherry and earthy undertones, with balanced tannins and a light body, though some find it underwhelming. In contrast, the 2008 vintage is praised for its intense flinty, woody, and spicy notes with a sweet, fruity finish. Opinions vary, with some appreciating its complexity while others are less impressed.
Le Contrade Arcera Nero d'Avola presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its Sicilian roots. The nose is a complex tapestry of ripe black cherry, plum, and a whisper of dried herbs, underscored by a subtle minerality. On the palate, it reveals a robust structure with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that balances the wine's rich fruit profile. Notes of dark chocolate and a hint of anise emerge, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This Nero d'Avola exemplifies the varietal's potential, offering both depth and elegance, making it a benchmark for Sicilian reds.
