Variety: Nero D'Avola
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95
Shop 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 (Vintage Cellar).
My Review: The Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola had a soft plum nose with hints of licorice. The aromas somewhat reminded me of a Twizzler. Surprisingly, the taste was not at all sweet like the aromas of it. This wine was very spiced with an almost cinnamony taste to it. I surprisingly really enjoyed this wine. Though I don't seem to generally enjoy spiced wines, this one made me want to curl up with a big glass of it next to a fire on a cold, snowy day.
Food: N/A
