Expressive and beautiful bouquet full of dried rose, cherry confiture, fig, black pepper. Almost full bodied, long aftertaste with chili touch and flavours of coffee, candied cherry and crushed gravel. Interesting evolution in glass. It still shows energy, and could easily live for 10 years more. Pachino terroir produces beautiful and mineral Nero d'Avola and I definitely love it.
One more beauty from Pachino, made from grapes growing in few steps from the sea. Fascinating and elegant bouquet. Sour cherry, fig, toffee, vanilla and crushed gravel. Well integrated acidity, silky tannins, long finish. Flavourful, not overwhelming. Cherry and roasted almonds. Amazing, how delicate Nero d'Avola can be. In the blind tasting I would confuse it with some overripe Nerello Mascalese.
