Tasting - Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola


Name: Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola

Variety: Nero D'Avola

Region: Sicily

Country: Italy

Year: 2010

Price: $8.95

Shop Review: Very dark purple, with a reddish-violet edge, typical of this grape. Black plums, a hint of licorice and subtle spice, not overly complex but appealing. A big mouth full of juicy black fruit is well structured by tart acidity and soft but distinct tannins.

My Review: On the nose, I was able to pick up hints of raspberries, though it isn't named in the review provided.  Perhaps that just falls under the "jammy" description?  This wine was sweet at first sip, but seemed dryer afterwards.

With Food?: No
