La Strada

Lodi Nero D'avola

David Akiyoshi La Strada Nero D'avola from Lodi presents a remarkable representation of this storied Sicilian varietal. With a deep and alluring ruby color, this red wine showcases a harmonious fusion of robustness and elegance. Upon the first sip, you'll experience a luscious medley of ripe blackberry and dark cherry, gracefully intermingled with hints of crushed herbs and a subtle touch of black pepper. The medium-bodied texture fills the palate generously, offering a vivid burst of fruit intensity that is both vibrant and balanced. The wine's acidity is captivating, providing a bright, mouthwatering quality that accentuates its lively character, while the tannins are well-structured yet smooth, ensuring a refined finish. This Nero D'avola is a delightful testament to Lodi’s ability to produce wines with exceptional depth and complexity, embodying the essence of its Mediterranean roots.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
