2023 Caruso & Minini Naturalmente Nero d'Avola Sicilia, Sicily, Italy (750ml) Willamette With 3% whole cluster duringWINEMAKER'S NOTES: Fruity and vibrant Nero d'Avola finds a balance of soft tannins and a harmonic finish. Great with grilled meat and aged cheese. TASTING NOTES: Raspberries, figs, and pomegranates lead the way on the nose, followed by cool earth, herbs, and spearmint. On the palate, raspberry jam and dried cherries are lifted by salt and citrus zest before a lively, warm, salty finish closes things out. Wine Enthusiast, 91 pts.
