Morgante
Sicilia Nero d'Avola
Sicily, Italy
Deep in color and fragrant on the nose, this dark ruby red from Sicily offers a powerful set of aromas: cassis, black olives, cigar box, leather, anise and smoke all come around fairly quickly. This is one of those wines I run across from time to time that smells so good I almost forget to drink it. Almost. The palate is dark and savory. Blackberry and black plum are the most notable fruit flavors, but the Morgante is all about the trimmings. There is a muddy forest floor component and, if you are new to wine, rest assured that it’s a good thing. Minerality comes in abundance and there is a hint of sage there, too, with notes of tea, coffee and root beer finding their way through.

Tanti buoni profumi di frutta e spezie, meno polposo da altri lascia una nota alcolica abbastanza pungente che ne limita il giudizio. Corpo medio, buona freschezza, tannini lievi. Si sente un poco di legno, ma ci sta bene
