Modus Bibendi Nero d’Avola 2016

A vibrant nero d’avola from old vines planted at about 1000ft in clay and chalk soils. Organic and hand-harvested fruit, fermented in stainless steel with wild yeast and then matured in chestnut barrels for 9 months.

Fresh with aromas of red fruit, spice, and licorice. The palate is brimming with ripe red fruit, ripe plum, spice and a mineral note. Noticeable tannins but quite approachable.
