VILLA POZZI Nero d' Avola "Sicilia" 2008 - SICILY - ITALY

Price:	$11.99

100% Nero d'Avola

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. Quite a wine. Touch of cherries, hint of prunes and a little bit of mint with firm tannins and a lingering finish. This is a big, unctuous wine with spicy, Zinfandel-like jammy notes.

This soft, supple Nero d'Avola offers terrific quality for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012.� Very good.� Score 89. "
