2020 Centonze Sicilia Nero d'Avola

Rich with out heft and juicy without sweetness this Centonze is what Nero d'Avola is all about. Pure, bold flavors with just enough tannin and acid to hold it all together while giving simple enjoyment. Darkly fruited and more spicy than maybe the primary nose would let on this bottle is that bottle you can take to a party and everyone will love it. It won't stop the party but it will keep it moving right along, and isn't that what we want anyhow? Something that is interesting enough, affordable enough, strongly flavored enough and not derivative? That is what this wine can deliver in all its big grapey, peppery glory. Enjoyment. (Bryan, GTO)
