Da Vero Catarratto Vino Rosso Biologico 2019
Sicily, ItalyAraldica is a third-generation, family-operated co-operative based in Piedmont that remains faithful to artisanal winegrowing. Over time it has expanded its reach by working with local farmers and growers throughout Italy to produce authentic wine, enter Da Vero. This co-operative in southwestern Sicily has the island’s largest organic vine plantings and has worked with Araldica for years. Daverro means really, or naturally, in Italian. The Nero d’Avola here comes off organic vineyards, converted in 2007. Expect a ripe, juicy nose and palate of black raspberry and brambleberry with light tannins and a classic dry Italian finish. Best with rustic fare like spaghetti and meatballs, casseroles, or grilled beef. Good value at an attractive price.Tasted: 11 December 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $15.49 | 750ml | select private retailers |
