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:
As soon as I stuck my nose in the glass with Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola, I finally realized why it is important to have jams in your repertoire of aromas. This wine smells just like a jar of Smucker's, a very thick jam smell. On the pallet this wine offers a nice warming spice. This wine is pretty dry (again in the sweetness term), but not so bad as to need a glass of water afterwards.
