The 2005 Nero d’Avola is 100% Nero d’Avola fermented and aged in stainless steel, and bottled early to preserve its fruit. Its dense ruby/purple hue is followed by aromas of strawberries, black cherries, and scorched earth. Medium-bodied, intensely fruity, and lush with a hedonistic appeal, this pure, consumer friendly red should drink well for 1-2 years.A Leonardo LoCascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel.
