One of my inexpensive go to reds on a cold night with a fresh pizza. Youthful fruit, decent acid, good weight and tasty finish. Love Sicilian wines as they offer excellent value!

Oct 24th, 2016100% Nero d’ Avola. Quite hot. Dark ruby color. The alcohol dominates both the nose and palate. There is some red and blue fruit but it is difficult to distinguish. This overpowering wine “bites back” at you. Next please.
