Being a combination of the substitute noun それ, な, and のに, the particle meaning 'although' or 'despite', それなのに acts as a conjunction meaning 'and yet', or 'despite that', and simply refers back to the previous statement made, when the following statement is in contradiction to it.
Due to its use as a conjunction, それなのに will primarily appear at the beginning of a new sentence.
Being that the (B) sentence is in contradiction to the (A) sentence, それなのに will often indicate something that is unexpected, or was somehow unpredictable based on (A).
