Tasca D'almerita Sallier de la Tour Nero d'Avola is an intense and full-bodied Sicilian red wine from the province of Palermo, aged for a total of 12 months, between barriques and steel tanks. It expresses aromas of ripe and fleshy fruit, with intense notes of mixed spices and licorice, revealing itself in a full and enveloping sip, with a persistent trail of blackberry jam.
Low yields in the vineyard ensure a high quality and concentrated harvest. The choice to age the wine partly in wood and partly in steel allows the fresh, fruity notes of a young wine to be combined with extremely elegant spice and licorice aromas.
