Perlegos Nero d’Avola 2021 | Lodi California Red Wine

Discover the bold character of our limited-production 2021 Nero d’Avola from Lodi’s sun-kissed Mokelumne River region. This elegant Sicilian varietal thrives in California’s Mediterranean-like climate, yielding a wine with remarkable depth and aging potential.

Tasting Profile:
– Aroma: Enticing dark florals layered with wild herbs, ripe black cherries, and a whisper of licorice
– Palate: Structured yet vibrant, featuring crushed raspberries, juicy blackberries, and a touch of sweet spice
– Finish: Silky tannins with balanced acidity—perfect for cellar aging or immediate enjoyment

Why This Wine Stands Out:
Crafted from no-till vineyards farmed sustainably by the Des Voignes & Hartwick families, our Nero d’Avola reflects Lodi’s unique terroir: sandy soils, warm days, and cooling Delta breezes. Fermented with native yeasts and aged 16 months in neutral oak, it captures authentic varietal expression without overpowering oak influence.

Ideal Pairings:
Complements grilled lamb, mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses beautifully. Serve slightly below room temperature to highlight its aromatic complexity.

Details:
– Alcohol: 12.9%
– Vintage: 2021 (actual vintage may vary slightly)

A rare California homage to Sicily’s flagship grape—bold enough for collectors yet approachable for everyday indulgence.
