Tasting - Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola
Variety: Nero D'Avola
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95
Winery 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.
My Review: I didn't particularly enjoy this wine. I tasted plum, which is one of my favorite flavors in wine. The whole mid-palate was very nice; it was fruity and pleasant, with the plum and a spiciness making it interesting. I didn't like the finish, however, as it was bitter and dry. Overall, I would have really liked this if it didn't have such a strong, off-putting finish.
I did not try this with food.
