Epicuro Nero d'Avola 2007 8.8 - James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

The Nero dAvola grape is nearly synonymous with Sicily and indigenous to Italy. Nero means black and the southeast Sicillian village of its origin is Avola hence Nero dAvola. Its a long name but a formidable wine low alcohol 13% its bursting with notes of roasted blueberry, baking spices and wooded underbrush, drier than you might expect with silky tannins basking this dark inky wine. This is a fantastic Nero dAvola and for the price I couldnt believe I just paid $4.99 a bottle at Trader Joes. It is in fact one of the best Nero dAvolas I have had in some time. The glass I drank this from cost more than the bottle price.
