Tasting - Resonata Nero D’Avola



•Name- Resonata Nero D’Avola

•Variety- Nero D’Avola

•Region- Sicily

•Country- Italy

•Year- 2013

•Price- Regular $14, Sale $6.95

•Shop review- The grapes are soft pressed and the juice is placed in stainless steel along with the skins for a maceration of 8 to 10 days with daily pumping over of the juice to extract more color and sweet tannins. Dense ruby red with violet reflections. Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice. Harmonious and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background. Excellent with lamb, grilled and barbecued meats, dishes with olives or capers and seasoned cheeses.

•Your review- This red wine was sweeter than I expected it to be after hearing the pourers description.  I tasted a hint of berries although I was unsure which kind they may be. This wine was a darker red than the previous wine in the tasting.  I did not pair this wine with food.
