  Fascinating wine. Fresh but focused. Bay leaf and minerals with some sour cherries. Very food friendly. Grows on you.

  This was my first exposure to the Nero d'Avola grape from Sicily. I come to find out that this grape I never heard of is the most important red wine grape in Sicily and is one of Italy's most important indigenous varieties.
  
  This @feudidelpisciottowinerelais is deep ruby red in color with an intense fruity nose of ripe blueberry, black cherry and pomegranate, with a hint of spice.
  
  This full bodied wine is well structured with medium+ acidity and grippy tannins. On the first day, it came across as very fruit forward with flavors of blueberry, black cherry & plum. The next day as the wine opened up the fruit flavors gave me the impression of being stewed...think of raisins or prunes. The wine finish lingered with hints of tabacco & licorice.

  Deep ruby
  
  Nose: Explosive dried cherry, accented by vanilla extract,brown sugar tobacco, and violet flower.
  
  Mouth: Black cherry and red current stream through ahead of a melange of licorice, baking spice and easy tannin supporting the front stage fruit. A hearty acid gives solid cut to the body and leaves a floral, chalky finish that rings on and on.
  
  Overall: Juicy and still penetrating, this has a one track mind: weaving spicy, oaky threads around a core of black cherry and red fruits before a finish that won't quit. QPR isn't even a question here, punches above its weight. Fabulous now, a few more years likely wouldn't hurt either. 100% Nero d'Avola
  
  92.
