SP87 Wine Spectator Apr 30, 2020

"Bright acidity enlivens dark blackberry and currant fruit flavors in this medium-bodied red, along with light, supple tannins and hints of smoke, anise and grilled thyme. A fresh, accessible red. Drink now. 58,400 cases made, 22,000 cases imported." (87 pts.)

"Elderberries, dried spices, blackberry crumble and raspberry cheesecake complete the picture of a fruity, attractive wine. Medium-bodied, round and spicy, heaping on endearing blue and dark fruit aplenty. Drink now." (91 pts.)

RP88 Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate 17th Oct 2019

"This wine has become part of the Sicilia DOC since the last time I tasted it. The 2018 Sicilia Nero d’Avola (closed with a glass cork) shows a dark color saturation and a terrific personality. The unoaked wine is bright and thick, with plenty of dark primary fruit to grab your attention. The intensity is there, but the complexity not so much. It hardly matters anyway because this wine is all about freshness and easy-drinking accessibility. I would pair it with my favorite spicy sausage and broccoletti pizza. Production is large at 700,000 bottles made, and you get great value here." (88 pts.)
