Sicily, ItalyAn atypical blend of nero d’avola (80%) and petit verdot (20%), this has simple, juicy black fruits accented by subtle, spicy oak from three months in French barriques. Medium-bodied, it’s surprisingly soft and approachable, but still dry, though there is some tartness to the finish. A fine everyday sipper, best enjoyed with a light chill alongside tomato-based pasta dishes. A steal at $9.80 in Quebec.Tasted: 24 September 2020Tasted by: Prices:
Sicily, ItalyNari is a classic spaghetti red made from a blend of nero d’avola and petit verdot. Typically Sicilian in structure, but a little lighter than you might think. There is some tannin and Italian dryness that permeates the dark, brooding fruit and spice. At $14.99, it is all you can expect and a bit more. Hamburgers would be an excellent match.Tasted: 16 June 2020Tasted by: Prices:
