Alessandro di Camporeale 2006 Donnatá Nero d’Avola (Sicilia)

Country: Italy / Donnatá
Variety: Nero d’Avola Sicily & Sardinia
Winery: Alessandro di Camporeale / Sicilia

Here’s a Nero d’Avola-based wine from Sicily with a green, or slight herbaceous quality to the fruit (presumably a result of the high elevation of the vineyard) that enhances the characteristic aromas of red currant, blackberry and exotic spice. The wine offers very good balance of refreshing acidity versus chewy fruit.
