Zio Paolo DOC Sicilia 2021

Tasting note

Info about the wine:

100% Nero d’ Avola benannt nach dem Stammvater der Familie Lauria, gewachsen auf dem weiten flachen Land um Alcamo.

Removal Info:

Harvested in mid-September and fermented in steel tanks.

Color:

Dense violet-red colour, black core.

Nose:

The lush nose seduces with plenty of intensity and sweetness, from blackberries and cassis to violet pastilles and fine chocolate. The wild herbs reminiscent of rosemary, thyme and juniper have a charming effect, with more oxygen contact adding fine coffee and Kampot pepper notes. The whole is beautifully underpinned by a floral fragrance reminiscent of roses and violets. A very harmonious start.

Palate:

The palate of the 2021 ZioPaolo surprises with a fine freshness and invigorating structure; slightly chilled, the slightly higher alcohol does not come into play at all. An extremely animating red wine that impresses with plenty of fruit, juiciness and a polished tannin structure. The perfect partner to barbecue dishes and intense pasta.

Food pairing suggestions

• Penne with roasted celery, avocado and garnet apple (Vegetable & Vegetarian)
• Grilled burger with crispy bacon and salad (meat)
• BBQ chicken drumsticks with beetroot salad and wild herbs (poultry)
