2010 Giordano Nero d’Avola i.g.t. Sicilia Rosso, Sicily, Italy, $10 (S) – Rating 90

Nero d’Avola is the preeminent grape of Sicily and similar in style to New World Syrah/Shiraz displaying the jamminess one would expect from those wines. This Nero d’Avola is no exception with aromas of dark cherry with hints of dark chocolate and spice. A definite jamminess with moderate tannins on the palate offering flavors peppery plum, dark fruit and spicebox. Dark chocolate enhances the long finish. Buy This Wine
