This sounds quite fascinating, and the post makes me want to explore Southern Italy even more. I enjoyed the Planeta Nero, but it is made in a very modern style with plenty of oak. It is still distinct, but I doubt it’s anything like a nero from this producer. I’d be curious on your comparative opinion if you’ve tried the two.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Judith, I have been to beautiful (and very touristy) Taormina, but unfortunately didn’t know about Osteria Nero d’Avola! It sounds great. My most amazing experience there was feeling ash from nearby Mt Edna raining down on the town. Pretty crazy place.

glad you’ve gotten to drink Nero d’Avola where it’s meant to savoured. We spent three weeks in Sicily drinking every Nero we could find which was plenty but three weeks was too little time. If you get to touristy Taormina, do go to Osteria Nero d’Avola…nothing fancy and a bargain in this pricey place. Every wine on the list is a Nero…heaven, and the food is very, very good too.

I think I might have a crush on Arianna as well. Her wines sound fantastic.
Hope all is well down there and happy holidays.
