Known also as "Calabrese", it is one of the most renowned Sicilian wines. The vine owes its name on the one hand to the typical colour of the berry which is precisely black and, on the other hand, to the fact that the first graft was performed in Avola. The wine has an intense ruby red colour; its scent is given by a combination of notes of violet, black pepper and graphite and finally the taste is smooth and balanced. It is present on the market both in single variety and with other grapes such as, for example, Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon.
