Prodigo Nero d'Avola Appasite
by Prodigo · Sicilia DOC, Sicily, Italy
Red • Nero d'Avola • 14.5% ABV
Prodigo's Nero d'Avola Appasite takes Sicily's signature red grape and gives it a fascinating twist. The 'appasite' in the name refers to the partial drying of the grapes before fermentation – similar to the technique used for Amarone – which concentrates the flavors and adds remarkable complexity.
Nero d'Avola is already known for producing bold, sun-drenched reds, but this partially dried version takes things to another level. The result is a wine with impressive depth and richness while maintaining the distinctive Mediterranean character that makes Sicilian wines so appealing.
It's the perfect winter red – warming, complex, and satisfying – but with enough freshness to keep it from feeling heavy. This is the kind of bottle that makes you reconsider what you thought you knew about Sicilian wine.
