From the southern hills, a few miles from the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, this Nero d’Avola is fairly structured. Focusing on blueberries and blackberries, it’s packed with a tar and chocolate complexity. There’s an important tannic structure, smoothed out by its vibrant acidity and reactive finish.

Spicy and hauntingly dark, the 2020 Nero d'Avola opens with a burst of blood orange, crushed blackberries, balsam herbs and violet florals. This is silky-smooth yet cool-toned in feel. Crisp wild berry fruits and zesty citrus tones add contrast. It leaves the palate reeling with youthful tension as a tart cherry and cranberry concentration mingles with sweet tannins. There is significantly more depth, concentration and balance here than expected.

An elegant, medium-bodied red, with fine tannins and bright acidity framing flavors of wild strawberry, ripe raspberry, anise hyssop and dried thyme, followed by a tar-tinged finish. Drink now through 2028. 25,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.
