Lot 337
2020 DOC Sicilia Nero d'Avola Riserva

Complex, broad and contemplative, the bouquet is wild, fresh, piercing and sleek, resonant with plums, dark cherries, earthy minerality, and a gorgeous licorice halo. On the palate, tobacco and deeper licorice notes intermingle with dark plums rounded out with chili pepper spice, medium acidity, and plentiful, seamlessly integrated tannins. The finish is long and pure, resonating with black cherries and vanilla overtones. Excellent with a stew in the colder months, this is a great accompaniment to firing up the grill in the warmer ones too. A healthy decant is recommended in the near future.
