A simple Italian red from Sicily. Showing red fruits with earth, vegetables, and dark coffee.
Unbalanced and better with food.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Not my style.
13% alcohol by volume.

My favorite type of grape, and did not disappoint. It turned very dry with a complement of dark berries. Mid-range alcohol content my only fault.

The Stemmari Nero d’Avola is darker than a serious bruise and offers a nose that means just as much business. Black fruit, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, leather, cigars, black olive, mocha - I mean, what do you not smell? It's a downright savory palate, too. Forest floor leaps out with plums and licorice in tow. There is a distinct mineral presence and the tannins work, if they really have to. They aren't going to get up just to make the sip harsh. This rustic wine will fit naturally with pecorino cheese, arancini, eggplant stew or even pasta and sardines.

Plum nose. Bright berry, dry cherry, profile. Another super value.
