Corvo
Nero d'Avola
Sicily, Italy
Ruby in color with a wide red/ brick rim.
On the nose raspberries, strawberries, plums, wood, vanilla, spices, earth, wet leaves, red candy, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, strawberries, red currants, oak, vegetables, vanilla, earth, tobacco, dark coffee, herbs, peppercorn and pencil lead.
Medium finish with soft tannins and tangy pomegranates.
This is a simple and easy drinking red wine from Italy. Unbalanced, but enjoyable nonetheless. Might have been better a year ago as it has lost some of the fruits.
Good right out of the bottle. Better with food than all by itself. Will pair nicely with pizza or tomato based pasta.

Enjoyable. A little lighter and dryer than I would've expected

Jun 10th, 2016Ruby hue. Aroma of roasted cherries. The wine's subtly oily texture complements a savory, almost meaty flavor. There is a suggestion of smoke. Barely tannic. Quite fine. Hardly rare, I suppose, but worth seeking out.
