Opening to a dark garnet appearance and shapely black fruit aromas, the 2017 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Plumbago does a great job of showing the round and soft side of the grape without dwelling on the black olive and chopped fennel aromas that you sometimes get with this native grape. I wonder if they were ironed out by the 2017 vintage heat. If you are new to Nero d'Avola, let this easy wine be your guide.
The nose offers delicacy, fruit, controlled power, a certain subtlety and a certain intensity. It reveals notes of blackberry, cassis and small notes of strawberry associated with touches of black plum as well as slight hints of liquorice, chocolate and pepper. The palate is fruity and offers freshness, minerality, delicacy, control and a good definition. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, violet and small notes of crushed cassis associated with touches of raspberry, small pulpy red berries as well as hints of chocolate, vanilla, toasted almond and a subtle hint of olive and sage. Good persistence. A very fine chew on the finish. A beautiful wine!
