2019. Since I made a big batch of Bolognese earlier this week, tonight was leftovers, and we pulled this Nero d’Avola to drink with it. PnP and I was surprised the combo didn’t really pair well and made the wine finish a little boozy. So, we just let it open up in the glass while sipping for a few hours. Huge change as the fruit filled in and the finish smoothed out!

Beautiful nose of black cherries, red apple skin, some plum, red berries, pine, cedar, turned earth, cloves. Very Sicilian!
On the palate, fresh, tart black cherry and red berries, fresh alpine vibes, pine, high acidity, medium chalky tannins.
Palate almost reminds me of a Barbera. Nonetheless, a beautiful Nero from the queen of Nero!🙌🏼
