Tasting-Villa Pozzi Nero D’Avola


Name: Villa Pozzi Nero D’Avola
Variety: 100% 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, Blacksburg VA)

My review: The smell was fruity and jammy, with evident tannins. Just smelling the wine made me sweat! The taste resembled a twig that had been in a fire (slightly smokey). 

 I drank this without food, but I imagine this wine would go well with meat.
