Villa Pozi - Nero d'Avola

Name: Villa Pozi
Variety: Nero d'Avola
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Price: $9.95

Winery 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. Quite a wine for well under $10, and is offers some reason to believe it will cellar well.

My Review: This wine smells like spices. The wine has a very dark red color to it, very appealing to the eye. When I tasted it the spices came through too. It was a little bit too spicy for my tastes. I could also taste a hint of smokiness and licorice. It is a very different type of red wine, and I would like to try more of them.
