| 75 | | | 87 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Nero d’Avola means “black of Avola,” which is a small town in southeastern Sicily. It may well be Sicily’s most popular red wine grape. Some are made as big, full-bodied wines that have some aging potential, while others are made in a more youthful style designed for near-term consumption. This example follows that latter pattern, as it’s a medium-bodied, deeply colored red wine that offers aromas of sweet dark fruits and spice. The finish picks up a bit of vanilla, from the Slovenian oak in which its aged. Sweet fruit tannins and an easy-on-the-palate texture make for a wine that’s a good introduction for anyone approaching red wines for the first time. That fruit sweetness allows the wine to pair well with spice. Grape type: Nero d’Avola. Serve moderately cool, about 60ºF/15ºC, to enhance the fruit, and enjoy in large tulip-shaped glasses. Foods: Peppered dry salami; meat terrines; red meats, whether roasted or grilled; pastas with vegetable or meat sauces; vegetable dishes, dark (64% cacao) chocolate (very nice).
