2013 - Nero d’Avola DOC (Sicily)
Composition: 100% Nero d'Avola
Alcohol: 13.5 %
WINE DESCRIPTION
Lamùri, or “love” in Sicilian dialect, is made entirely from hand-harvested
Nero d'Avola grapes. The Tasca family credits the elegance of the final wine to
the unique sandy soil and microclimate of this region. After fermentation, the
wine is aged in French barriques for one year to add extra finesse.
TASTING 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.
FOOD PAIRING
Pair this wine with spaghetti and meatballs, Bolognese sauces, pappa
pomodoro, and lamb kebabs.
