Description
Totò is Peri Peri's Nero d'Avola, the best-known red grape of Sicily. The estate sits near Sciacca, in the province of Agrigento, a few kilometers from the sea, and the De Cerchio family farms it organically.
It's medium-bodied, with juicy cherry and red berry fruit, a little pepper and some earth. Bright acidity keeps it fresh and the tannins stay soft, so it goes with pizza, pasta in red sauce, grilled sausages or roast chicken. Serve it slightly cool, around 60°F.
You may also see it written Peri Peri Toto, without the accent. It's the same bottle.
Questions about Peri Peri Totò Nero d'Avola Terre Siciliane IGT
- Is Peri Peri Totò Nero d'Avola sweet or dry?
- Dry. The fruit tastes ripe, like cherries and red berries, but there's no noticeable sugar.
- Is Nero d'Avola similar to Pinot Noir?
- Not quite. Nero d'Avola usually has darker fruit and a bit more grip. Totò sits on the lighter, juicier side of the grape, so Pinot Noir drinkers tend to like it.
- Does Peri Peri wine have anything to do with peri peri sauce?
- No. The estate takes its name from the ancient travelers, called "peri peri" or wanderers, who met on that stretch of the Sicilian coast.
- Is Peri Peri Totò organic?
- Yes. The De Cerchio family farms its estates organically and ferments with the yeasts that come in from the vineyard.
