Sultry vibe. Fruit like a kiss with red lipstick. Tawny port, raisins, dank florals and masses of dark energy like a flash of lightning at night. But this is not too extracted and very light in the mouth with bright acid. Way more elegant and silky than any Nero I’ve tried. Underneath the fruity/floral is a musky, sexy, earthy quality, a red clay earthiness, like the scent from the forest floor of some very specific, very remote place. Revelatory.

Well structured, with the right balance. Ripe fruit and rounded tannins. To enjoy now!!

Vintage 2010 - in general I do not like Nero d'Avola. But this silky and smooth wine is the best from this grape I have ever tasted.

Big, bold, Nero d'Avola, with noticeable oak. Not bad, if you like the style.
