Tasting Notes for Wild Folk Preservative Free Nero d’Avola 2024 from the Winery 

McLaren Vale and Sicily share many of the same climatic similarities which is why  this Italian variety thrives in the region. This is instantly drinkable with a soft, approachable  roundness to the palate. There’s red berry fruit complemented by earthy savoury notes and a gentle  grip on the finish. Nero’s natural high acidity makes it a no brainer for pasta with a meaty ragu.
