Eloro Nero d'Avola
Made with nero d'Avola grapes, Eloro Nero d'Avola has a dark ruby color with violet hues and complex hints. It gives intense aromas typical of red fruits, with a shade of cranberry. On the palate, the taste is surprisingly soft, full and structured, fading into a bitter aftertaste and recalling the scent of wood. It goes well with pasta, red meats, game and medium-aged cheese.
