2023 Cantine Pepi Eron Terre Siciliane Nero d'Avola

Eron 2023 distills Sicily’s coastal warmth into a supple, fruit-forward red.
Hand-harvested Nero d’Avola from sand-and-limestone slopes near Vittoria ferments for eighteen days on native yeasts in temperature-controlled steel, preserving vibrant aromatics while gentle pump-overs build velvety tannin.
Six months in seasoned French barrels add a thread of vanilla and cedar without muting the wine’s blackberry-and-violet core.
Ripe black cherry, plum, and a hint of dried fig glide across medium body (13.5 % abv), lifted by the region’s natural acidity and a whisper of Mediterranean herb.
Dry, polished, and eminently drinkable, it’s the bottle you open for pasta al forno on Tuesday yet classy enough for Saturday steaks.

Nose: Blackberry jam, black cherry, and violet layered with cocoa powder, clove, and warm earth.

Palate: Juicy dark fruit sweeps over silky tannins, sparked by licorice, black pepper, and a touch of espresso.

Finish: Medium-long, dry close lingers with berry compote, savory herb, and a subtle salty-mineral snap.

Pairs effortlessly with rosemary-grilled lamb chops, eggplant caponata spooned onto crusty bread, or aged Pecorino drizzled with fig jam—the wine’s plush fruit and gentle spice elevate every savory bite.
