Torre Rracina
Leggermente Appassite Nero d'Avola
Sicily, Italy
A surprisingly serious & balanced Nero D’Avola-black fruited all the way. Plenty of casis & blackberries on palate. Quite concentrated but not overly so or too fruity-Apparently a portion of the grapes used are dried in the old style (& as in some Venetian wines). Not complex either but just delicious. Polaner book, & at 13$ a steal.

Drinkable for the low price, but it’s not good.

Smells cheap, has neither varietal character nor local character, obviously a mass-produced wine made with industrial process. Indistinguishable from most supermarket Valpolicella or Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, although this has little more body and concentration.

Very full bodied, between a dry and a sweet, but arching toward the dry side. Very delicious.

We love this grape and like this vineyard. Just dragged home a case but was surprised to see my merchant had ordered in the 2016 vintage. Here's hoping it measures up. Great value bottle.
