Sikelè Terre Siciliane Nero d'Avola

Black fruit, spicy, very earthy. Smooth tannins and long finish. Goes well with olives, tomato dishes.

Love the retronasal things happening here

Day 3. The grapes are getting restless

Spiky caramelised pear.

Very good. Dry orange wine. Funky and deep.

September 2017

Could have used a nice decant. Smokey tannins

Good acidity and structure.

👁 Beautiful ruby-garnet colour
👃Warm on the nose, strawberry and blackberry, some gaminess
👅 Black cherry, strawberry, ripe plum, great structure. Chewy thick tannins, black peppery to finish.
✍️ Easy drinking, easy going. Great everyday wine. Try it with black olives.

Tail Up Orange.

I can see the potential but I really think this 2012 could use a few years. I'm not an expert and don't know how Nero ages but to me it's a bit tight and tannic.
