Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little
transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas
that start with hints of black cherry and blackberry followed by aromas of
blueberry, plum, violet, vanilla, licorice, menthol and cocoa. The mouth
has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and good
roundness, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors,
agreeable. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, plum and
blackberry. This Nero d'Avola ages for 12 months in barrique followed by 6
months of aging in bottle.
