And on the palate as well. (312 views) | | | Tasted by randyjc on 2/22/2024 & rated 88 points: Yummy little wine. Enjoyable. Not going to take center stage, but solid. (181 views) | | | Tasted by MikePass44 on 10/15/2023 & rated 90 points: Aromas of black cherry, poultry herbs, tobacco, leather, black licorice. Palate is more fruit forward- lots of black cherry, some baking spice notes. Not super complex, lighter bodied, easy drinking. Delicious, even if not terribly interesting (255 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 12/22/2022 & rated 89 points: Deep ruby color. Spicy, fun and fresh on the nose, with jammy raspberries and strawberries, with rose petals, spicy pepper and paprika, tar and some leather tones. Juicy and ripe on the palate with raspberries and red cherries, with dusty tannins and medium acidity. There’s a lot of really fun secondary flavors here, lie charcoal, barbecue sauce, tar, tobacco, and these underlying mineral and smashed rock essences. Juicy and delicious but sporting complexity as well. This would be a delicious barbecue wine or a way to convert casual wine drinkers into Sicily fans.

Stewed dark fruit, black tea, plum, prune.

| Sallier de la Tour Producer websiteNero d'AvolaThe Nero d'Avola can be considered the red grape variety most typical and representative of Sicily. The synonym Calabrese is a Italianization the dialect name, "Calaurisi", which literally means "grape (drop) of Avola (aurisi)". In one form as in the other, the constant reference to the town of Avola, municipality in the province of Syracuse, indicates the selection of the variety by the farmers in that area. From there it spread to other towns in the Val di Noto, Ragusa and Caltagirone in, and only recently in Sicily. The vineyards most suitable when grown using traditional techniques affinatesi (sic) in history to face the torrid climate of the area without irrigation, can have the greatest red wines for aging. The aromatic expression, centered on the richness of ripe dark fruit, reveals its mark more authentic with the notes of the organ and sun-dried tomatoes, linked by a broad Mediterranean brackish. Corresponds to a thick, sweet mouth, covered by a lively acidity that always ends with a tasty grip, particularly long lasting.
