Critic Review: A rich red grape, sometimes called Italy's Shiraz, Nero D'Avola is grown on the island of Sicily with great success. Villa Pozzi sources it's Nero D'Avola from vineyards in the hills on the western side of the island. Elevations of 1,000 to 1,300 feet and clay soils give these grapes the balance they need to mature fully without becoming overripe. The result is a full, succulent wine with rich fruit, spice and deep color. A tremendous value, enjoy this wine with all of your favorite Italian dishes.
My Review: This wine tasted tangy and a little bitter at first with a slight oak taste but not very woody. It was smoother than other red wine’s I’ve tasted before. It was balanced well, and the aftertaste was pleasant. I did not try this wine with food. Overall, I liked it.
