Tasting- Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola

Name: Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola
Variety: 100% Nero d’Avola (also known as Calabrese)
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: This wine had almost sour berries on the nose.  Upon tasting I got a bold, heavy fruit.  It was very full in flavor, that was definitely a mouth puckerer.  Wasn't a huge fan of this one, and would probably not try it again.

This wine was tasted on its own with no food.
