Wine Review: This dark red colored Nero d’Avola (nair-oh davo-la) opens with an old leather and black cherry bouquet with a hint of match sulfur. On the palate, this wine light to medium bodied, balanced and has a round mouthfeel. The flavor profile is a gentle black tea and black olive blend with notes of mild plum and old oak in the background. There are hints of minerality throughout. The finish is dry and its tannins build-up and stick around for quite some time. This wine is very good and affordable. Enjoy a bottle at a cookout with a big juicy burger off the grill. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Intense ruby-red in color, Lamùri offers lush aromas of black cherry, black fruits, vanilla, tobacco, and wild herbs. On the palate, velvety tannins and refreshing acidity make for an elegant, expressive, crowd-pleasing wine. Pair this wine with spaghetti and meatballs or Bolognese sauces.
