Le Casematte Nero d'Avola 2015

Sicily, ItalyA consistent performer that opens with that ripe Mediterranean cherry/plum fruit character, flecked with licorice and spicy, floral notes. It’s 100 percent nero d’Avola from 20-year-old vineyards in Butera, Sicily, that sit at 984 feet above sea level and sees no oak. The attack is dry, elegant and fresh with very light tannins. It’s all about fruit here. This could easily take on a tomato beef ragú with an appropriate pasta.Tasted: 24 January 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
