Abbazia Santa Anastasia 2003 Montenero Red (Sicilia)

Country: Italy / Sicily & Sardinia
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Abbazia Santa Anastasia / Montenero

This is a luminous, mature red wine with thick concentration and huge—almost too much—emphasis on toasted oak. Aromas recall vanilla, spice and coffee, although you will find blueberry and cherry on the finish: It is a blend of Nero d’Avola, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
