Who makes it
Ferrari and Perini's wine business began as a wine shop in 1882, and the families have run Cantine 4 Valli since 1952. The company is based in Piacenza, Emilia Romagna, while BorgoFulvia is its line for wines sourced from several Italian regions. The Nero d'Avola is the Sicilian example, with regional origin retained in the bottle's description.
Cantine 4 Valli is the largest private wine production company in the Piacenza territory. BorgoFulvia carries that company into a portfolio organised by regional origin, with wines drawn from areas in Italy suited to wine growing.
Where it grows
Terre Siciliane IGT puts Sicily on the label of BorgoFulvia Nero d'Avola. IGT is a broad Italian geographical category, so the name identifies a territory without naming a single village or vineyard. Nero d'Avola names the grape, while Cantine 4 Valli is based in Piacenza, Emilia Romagna. The bottle carries a Sicilian origin within a line run from northern Italy.
What they make
BorgoFulvia is the line spanning several Italian regions, and BorgoFulvia Nero d'Avola 2018 is the Terre Siciliane red. The label combines a named grape, vintage and regional origin in one bottle.
Nero d'Avola is a red grape, and grape variety supplies much of a red wine's fruit and spice character. At 12.5% alcohol, this wine is fruity and slightly spicy: dark cherry and plum lead, sage and chocolate join them, and oak appears alongside hints of other fruit.
