not forget the goodness of the best Nero d'Avola. The fact that risk is for wines made from this grape variety with the Marsala finish as the image that has for decades now compromised by the many inferior products on the market at low prices.
Today when we speak of Sicilian red, interest is especially to those of Etna, because it is undeniable that many new high-quality labels in recent years have come mainly from the slopes of the volcano.
Everything has come to overshadow the interests of both the consumer and of the employees towards what remains, however, the red grape cultivars by far the most cultivated in Sicily. On the market are excellent Nero d'Avola, also with Inexpensive price - quality ratio, just choose wisely. Certainly not wrong with the company Morgante this variety that produces only declined in three labels with distinct characteristics. We are located in the hinterland of Agrigento, in caves from calcareous clay.
The top wine is the " Don Antonio", aged 12 months in oak barrels, which year after year is confirmed one of the best Sicilian red. The year 2006 is very complex, with the characteristic cherry enhanced by fine spices very elegant and made more robust by a background of tobacco and licorice. Disease but not too much, under the velvet feel the powerful body, tannins tamed but still a little prancing, good acidity that gives it backbone and ensures longevity. Very good, even the simplest "Nero d'Avola " it goes well with dishes less elaborate, and the newest "Scinthilì", perfect for fish like red and even cool summer drink.
