Nice entry level blend. Not much to it, but in this case it's a good thing.

Приятный терпкий запах.
На вкус сперва кислит, а потом оседает в более тяжелый аромат без какого либо особого вкуса

The 2013 vintage of this Sicilian IGT is a wonderful showing of ruby red deep color. The combination of the Nero D'avola and Cabernet Sauvignon provides a wonderful experience on the pallet and is food friendly. On the nose you will find a cherry, BlackBerry, ripe plum, pomegranate, cranberry and dark chocolate as well as aromas representing each. This is a medium bodied with soft tannins, chewy mouth feel with medium alcohol (13.5%) and high acidity. Aged for three months in French and American oak which adds complexity to this warm climate southern Italy island-grown and vinified Sicilian beauty. Pair with slow cooked braised meats, grilled ribs or could equally be enjoyed with pizzas, cheeses or anti-pasti. This wine presents as ready to Enjoy now and is of exceptional value.

A good wine I have had a couple times. Good but not my "go to" wine.

Nero d'avola og cab.sauv. Áhugaverð blanda, fínn díll fyrir 1.800 kall, alveg þokkalega þroskað og ljómandi með spaghetti, ansjósum og pangritata.
