The Character

Overall Soft, round crowd pleaser
Aromas Tart wild berry, chalky mineral, wild herbs, citrus, blackberry
Mouthfeel Soft with high acid
Tasting Notes The NeroBaronj seduces with its zesty display of crushed cherries, sweet exotic spices and dried roses. This is soft and round in feel, offset by bright acids and tart wild berry fruits, which creates a sweet and sour impression toward the close. Energy remains high, even as chalky mineral notes and wild herbs come forward; yet the end note here is, without a doubt, a lasting echo of vivid citrus-tinged blackberry. The NeroBaronj, a varietal Nero d'Avola, is a crowd-pleaser.
Selling Point One of the finest examples of this grape.
Pairings Red meat, game and matured cheese
Sustainability
  • 2018 - Certified Organic, Natural Fermentation
  • 2016 - Certified Organic, Natural Fermentation
