Nero is Coriole’s take on the grape variety Nero d’Avola which has its origins in Southern Sicily. It thrives in a warm, Mediterranean climate such as McLaren Vale which facilitates Coriole’s youthful, fruit forward and vibrant rendition of the variety. A small portion of whole bunches are included in the ferment and maturation takes place in older oak for a period of 5 months.

Opaque dark red black colour with a bright dark red hue. Youthful, the nose shows good intensity with freshly crushed ripe dark cherry and liquorice scents intermingling with earthy incense, dried herb and spice notes. Medium weight the palate possesses juicy ripe red to dark cherry and liquorice flavours which meld into elements of earthy incense and infusions of fresh herbs. Finishes bright and spicy with faintly chalky tannins and a medium to long aftertaste.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
