I recently sat down with our new Italian winery buyer Orazio in San Francisco and he asked me to check out these two new, inexpensive Sicilian wines he had just brought in...and wow! Talk about value....organically farmed, very well made, totally delicious wines for under $10!? This bottling from Lamura perfectly captures the bold, easy, fruit you want from Nero d'Avola with great purity, polish and balance. Very easy drinking, with a soft supple textures and vibrant lift. Exceptional for the price. With this wine you can also feel good about your purchase as it's certified organic, light weight / low CO2 glass, and the case boxes are made from 100% recycled materials. This wine is really great in so many ways and above all else it totally over delivers for the money.

Notes

The Làmurà Nero d'Avola Sicilia is an organically certified wine that showcases the essence of Sicily’s most iconic red grape, Nero d'Avola. Produced from vineyards across the island, where the Mediterranean climate and limestone-rich soils create ideal conditions for organic viticulture, this wine reflects a commitment to sustainable practices and the preservation of the natural environment. With intense aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and subtle hints of licorice and spice, the Làmurà Nero d'Avola captures the distinctive character of the varietal. The palate is rich and full-bodied, featuring silky tannins, balanced acidity, and a smooth, lingering finish. An excellent choice for pairing with grilled meats, pasta dishes, or traditional Sicilian cuisine, this organic wine offers a genuine taste of Sicily’s terroir, showcasing both the quality of Nero d'Avola and a dedication to sustainable winemaking.
