Passo Nero

2008 Sicilia Igt Nero D'avola

Occhipinti Passo Nero is a stunning expression of Nero d'Avola hailing from the sun-kissed vineyards of Sicilia IGT. This red wine showcases a medium body complemented by a vibrant acidity that dances on the palate, bringing life to its rich character. The fruit intensity is prominent, highlighting luscious notes of ripe blackberries and cherries, intertwined with subtle hints of leather and spice, offering depth and complexity. Tannins are beautifully structured, providing a firm backbone that enhances the wine's ageability while remaining approachable. The wine is dry, allowing its bold flavors to resonate fully, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or enjoyed on its own. This vintage is a testament to the unique terroir of Sicily, presenting a delightful and memorable tasting experience.
