Variety: 100% Nero d'Avola
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $14 Regular, $6.95 Sale
Wine Critic Review (Provided by Vintage Cellar): The grapes are soft pressed and the juice is placed in stainless steel along with the skins for a maceration of 8 to 10 days with daily pumping over of the juice to extract more color and sweet tannins. Dense ruby red with violet reflections. Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice. Harmonious and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background. Excellent with lamb, grilled and barbecued meats, dishes with olives or capers and seasoned cheeses.
My Review: It smelled of alcohol and some fruit. The tongue was slightly fruity and somewhat bitter. I might try this wine again paired with the meats as suggested; it may provide a nice balance.
