Morgante
Nero D'Avola
Sicily, Italy
The 2021 Nero d'Avola is spicy in the glass, displaying a woodland-inspired blend of mentholated herbs, shaved pine, mandarin and crushed wild berries. This is pleasantly sweet upon entry, with cocoa-tinged red berry fruits complicated by hints of sage and an air of lavender. Staining and potent, the 2021 tapers off with dramatic length, leaving firming tannins and notes of licorice to linger on. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2024)

Morgante makes some of my favorite Nero d''Avola. It's just their thing. Rich and bold, abundant tannins and ripe fruit, leather and earthy hints. Barely out of the distinction badge.

Nice aroma of ripe black cherry and balanced structure of alcohol, acidity, and tannins. Two year old French for 4 months.

Enjoy this with a meal: it is so refreshing. Spend some time with the nose: smell the herbs and brush on the slopes of Mt Etna. Taste the cherry and stone fruit, with plenty of acidity as s some light tannin for structure. It finishes clean, with a touch of lingering stony tang.

Oct 16th, 2019This wine has raisins on the nose and palate. It was ok. But I've had a better Nero d’Avola.
