Tasting - Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola


Name: Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola
Variety: Nero D'Avola
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95

Vintage Cellar Review: Very dark purple, with a reddish-violet edge, typical of this grape.
Black plums, a hint of licorice and subtle spice, not overly complex
but appealing. A big mouth full of juicy black fruit is well structured
by tart acidity and soft but distinct tannins.

My Review: I could definitely smell the licorice and plum! It kind of smelled like twizzlers; fruity and sweet. I also tasted the plum. The wine felt warm and tart with a little spice in the finish.

I tried this wine on its own without food.
