2022 Centopassi 'Argile di Tagghia Via' Nero d'Avola

Centopassi single vineyeard line

‘Argille di Tagghia Via’ 100% Nero d’Avola, and takes its name from the church of the Madonna di Tagliavia, a few hundred yards away. The vineyard is planted between Corleone and San Giuseppe Jato.  Soil is impermeable alkaline clay with some sand, poor in organic matter and limestone. Fairly dark violet-tinged red in the glass.

A berryish, spicy aroma (hint of black pepper); lead pencil; somewhat reminiscent of Syrah. Very concentrated palate and fresh acidity. Finish honestly tastes like blackberry, with a faint hint of coconut, a common Nero d’Avola note. It has the richness nero d'aola has to offer but enough lift so that it's not weighted down and plumy.

Try it with red meats & BBQ, red sauce pasta dishes, epic pizzas
