Expert Reviews
From the southern hills, a few miles from the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, this Nero d’Avola is fairly structured. Focusing on blueberries and blackberries, it’s packed with a tar and chocolate complexity. There’s an important tannic structure, smoothed out by its vibrant acidity and reactive finish.

Plenty of fruit with cherry, cola and hazelnut undertones. Some fresh herbs, too. Medium to full body, creamy tannins and a juicy, fruity finish. Drink now.

An elegant, medium-bodied red, with fine tannins and bright acidity framing flavors of wild strawberry, ripe raspberry, anise hyssop and dried thyme, followed by a tar-tinged finish. Drink now through 2028. 25,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.
