Lamura Nero d'Avola

Nero d’Avola: The Black Grape of Sicily

No grape captures the Sicilian identity better than Nero d’Avola. Known locally as "Calabrese," this varietal is the bold heart of Sicilian red wine. It’s named after the town of Avola in southeastern Sicily, and its origins can be traced back hundreds of years.

Nero d’Avola thrives in Sicily’s warm climate, producing wines with deep ruby color, robust dark fruit flavors, and a hint of spice. What makes Lamura’s organic Nero d’Avola so compelling is its balance—it offers the richness and intensity the grape is known for, but with silky tannins and vibrant freshness that make it incredibly drinkable.

You’ll find notes of black cherry, ripe plum, and hints of Mediterranean herbs. It’s the perfect wine for slow-cooked tomato sauces, roasted meats, grilled eggplant, or a casual evening of pizza and conversation. And yet, there’s a subtlety here—a finesse—that elevates it far beyond what many expect from this humble grape.
