Brash Higgins, NDV, Nero d'Avola 2021
DESCRIPTION
A Nero d'Avola that tastes like a Negroni? Colour us intrigued. Subtle notes of Indian spices, black cherry, orange peel and stem ginger are followed by a rich palate of pomegranate, raspberry and morello cherry. Well-balanced with sweet and sour acidity, this wine finishes off with fine, savoury tannins. Why not try this on for size with a lasagna, an osso buco or a big, yummy plate of pasta?
