Feudo Luparello Nero d'Avola Syrah DOC 2022

Feudo Luparello Nero d'Avola Syrah brings together Sicily's signature red grape with Syrah in a smooth, generous blend. Nero d'Avola supplies ripe fruit and balance, while Syrah adds darker fruit, spice and aromatic complexity.

Made from 70% Nero d'Avola and 30% Syrah, the wine is fermented in stainless steel with around a week on skins before ageing in concrete. Expect ripe blackberry and raspberry, subtle balsamic and mineral notes, silky tannins and a fresh, savoury finish.

A versatile Sicilian red for grilled meats, slow-cooked dishes, pasta with rich tomato sauces and medium-aged cheeses.

Feudo Luparello is a Sicilian producer focused on expressive, approachable wines that reflect the warmth and Mediterranean character of the island. The winery works with both native Sicilian grapes and international varieties, combining regional tradition with modern winemaking techniques.

This red combines 70% Nero d'Avola with 30% Syrah, bringing together Sicily’s signature red grape with a variety that has adapted particularly well to the island’s warm climate. Nero d'Avola provides structure and regional character, while Syrah adds body and complexity. Ageing in concrete rather than oak keeps the wine fresh and allows the character of the varieties to remain at the forefront.

Salsiccia alla Siciliana con Patate (Sicilian Sausage with Roast Potatoes)

Ingredients:

• 600g Italian pork sausages, preferably with fennel
• 700g potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 2 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
• 100ml dry white wine
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp fennel seeds, lightly crushed
• 2 sprigs rosemary
• Salt and cracked black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Place the potatoes, onion and garlic in a large roasting dish and toss with the olive oil, oregano, fennel seeds, rosemary, salt and cracked black pepper.
3. Roast the potatoes for 20 minutes, then remove the dish from the oven and arrange the sausages among the vegetables.
4. Pour the white wine around the sausages and return the dish to the oven.
5. Roast for another 30–35 minutes, turning the sausages and potatoes halfway through, until the sausages are browned and the potatoes are crisp and golden.
6. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving with the roasting juices spooned over the top.

A rustic Sicilian combination, sausage and roast potatoes are a natural match for Nero d’Avola and Syrah. The wine’s ripe dark fruit complements the pork, while Syrah’s peppery spice works beautifully with fennel, oregano and rosemary, and the fresh, savoury finish balances the richness of the dish.
