This took a good 30 minutes or more to open up; after that, it was pretty decent. Have had plenty of other Donnafugata offerings that were better than this one - but for a basic Rosso offering, we're happy enough with it.

Dark with an Oaky nose. Somewhat thin in the mouth, with the oak tones dominating over light, mainly nondescript fruit. A bit hot on the finish. Good with food, not so much on it's own. Pass.

Better at first with food but became thin as we finished the bottle. Doesn't match the price and no better than a box wine.

Hazel nuts, mushrooms, red fruits, minerals on the nose. Tastes include tart cherry, blackberries with a slightly dry nutty finish.

I like nero d'avola but this one is frankly below par
