Nero d’Avola

Think sun-baked Sicilian terraces, late lunch lingering into aperitivo hour, and a bottle of this deeply juicy red within easy reach. ‘Nebacco’ is made from Nero d’Avola, the island’s star grape, and it delivers all the ripe dark cherry, plum and sweet spice you’d hope for. It’s plush but not heavy, mellow but far from dull.

Perfect for pizza night (proper pizza, not freezer aisle stuff), or with grilled lamb chops and a herby couscous salad. A great one to have on hand when friends swing by, or for those cosy, tomatoey pasta dinners that need a wine with a bit of swagger.
