From Giammoro Sicily this Nero d'Avola is big brother to the red label Colosi which is one of my everyday favorite value wines.
The label shows a Darwinian graphic representation of a vine, visualizing aromas of black currants and cherries paired with flavors of resinous minerality while a chalkiness shows on the mid-palate. Smooth tannins balanced with a nice acidity show a finish that will work well with steaks or a pasta with red sauce.
This is the second time I’ve tried this wine (the first time was a 2007 vintage) and have to say it never disappoints. 14% alcohol and retails for about $15-20 a bottle.
