Floridea Nero d'Avola-Pinot Nero Feudo Arancio 2023
Why it's worth a try
An intriguing Sicilian-international blend that marries local Nero d'Avola with Pinot Noir. The Nero d'Avola provides ripe fruit and southern warmth, while Pinot Noir contributes elegance and silky tannins. Red cherry, strawberry and subtle spice create an approachable profile that bridges traditional and modern styles. Lighter in body than pure Nero d'Avola, this blend offers versatility at the table and proves that well-executed blends can showcase the best of both varieties.
