RKS 2025 Wine: A Nero D’Avola From Sicily: Coste a Preola

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inUncategorized

Aroma: Brooding yet concentrated black cherry and blackberry. Lesser notes of cactus pear and dark chocolate.

Palate: Peppery blackberry with saline influences. Tart with some fine acidity (or spiciness if you prefer that term) lending itself more for food than sipping. Tannins build in intensity with a brackish short finish.

Personality: A lean Nero D’Avola to the point. Nothing fancy. On the perky side. Excitable and vibrant.

Food Match: Sicilian Polpette Pasta.

My Polpette Siciliana at Rosmarina Restaurant in Taormina, Sicily

Cellarbility: Consume in 2025.

Price: $17.95 CDN.

RKS 2025 Wine Rating: 84/100. Jamessuckling.com 90.
