2021 Feudo Arancio Nero d’Avola

Best Nero I’ve tasted in years. For once, the blurb is spot on: ‘Nero d’Avola is the workhorse red wine of Sicily. This superb, squeaky clean example boasts robust dark plum and cherry fruit flavours with lick of liquorice and spice. Soft and velvety, a must try.’ Great drinking now.

Classic Sicilian variety at a very friendly price. Plum and kirsch notes with a herb and savoury edge. The palate is supple, lithe, hints of baked raspberry across the palate. True tannin profile, with a roughish edge that gives grip across the final movement through the palate.
