Tasting - Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola

Date of Tasting: February 21, 2013
Name: Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola
Variety: Nero
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.

My Review:  On the nose, this wine definitely had an earthy-like quality to it. On the palate, I did detect some acid as well as some spice to it. It had a medium finish.

With or Without Food: Without food
