Wine Delight - Nero d'Avola

Nero d'Avola, an indigenous variety, is a wine characterized by its typical intense ruby ​​red color with violet reflections. Wine with a strong character, it has a fruity and spicy flavour. It can recall notes of cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant and dried plum on the palate. Depending on the maturation and aging methods, the spicy hints of liquorice, cloves, rhubarb but also cocoa, chocolate and cinnamon will be more or less accentuated. Versatile wine, it pairs perfectly with numerous first courses, meat second courses, roasts and cheeses.

Like other excellent quality jams, our Segreti di Sicilia Wine Delight can be used for breakfasts and snacks, for example spread on a slice of toast or used to season plain yogurt. Its use is also interesting in combination with cheeses (goat's or cow's milk) or for the preparation of cakes and desserts.

Generally, sweet and creamy cheeses go well with compotes and jams with a sour flavour, while sweet compotes and jams go better with mature ones. For example, soft, sweet and fresh cheeses such as ricotta and robiola go well with acidic jams such as lemon, orange and mandarin jams, or berry jam. Hard and mature cow's milk cheeses such as Grana Padano or Parmigiano Reggiano go well with pear jam, goat's cheese with raspberry, fig and apricot jam or orange and mandarin jam, pecorino cheese with lemon jam and tomato or onion.

According to our traditional recipe, orange marmalade is prepared in such a way that the bitterness is well balanced and not very present on the palate. In fact, the processing involves a soaking phase which allows the bitter notes to disperse before cooking.
