Sicily, ItalyNeré stems from Alberello (bush) trained Nero d'Avola vines that average 23 years, growing about one mile from the sea. The yields are low (2.5 tons/acre), but the return is high. Look for plenty of red/blackberry led by black plums and blackberries dusted with Mediterranean spices and chocolate. There is a twist of tannin, but nothing grilled meat won't subdue with ease. There is good value here, and it is ready to drink.Tasted: 19 January 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Sicily, ItalyBush trained nero d'avola vines, 12-34 years old, are planted around 2km from the sea. This younger vine nero d'avola was macerated 2-3 weeks, and fermented and aged in stainless, to preserve the pure fruit. Potent black plums, thorny wild blackberry are infiltrated with a spice box of scrubby herbal seasoning on the cushy, full-boded palate, with sticky tannins tugging at the sides and dark chocolate on the finish. One to reach for with herb grilled lamb and / or root veg.Tasted: 19 September 2022Tasted by: Prices:
