Cantine Colosi presents a juicy and vinous 2021 Nero d’Avola that is a little raw and rustic in places. This Sicilian grape tends to offer aromas of scorched earth, black olive, pickled caper and toasted pistachio nut. You get all of those characteristics here in an informal and easy package. This is a suitable pasta or pizza wine. Ripe cherry and blackberry appear on the finish.
“Iron-rich soil, cherries, wild strawberries and sour plums meet umami notes of balsamic vinegar and mushrooms on the nose of the exceedingly well-priced wine. Lively fruit comes out on the palate, lifted by a little chile-pepper heat, firm tannins and buzzy acid. ” Wine Enthusiast 90 Points, Best Buy
