The 2008 Nero d'Avola Riserva Don Antonio is fabulous in this vintage. It is a decidedly cool, inward Don Antonio. A persistent vein of minerality supports layers of dark fruit, mint and smoke in this tightly coiled, energetic finish. Varietal notes swirl around in the glass as the wine build towards the generous finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023.
These are two delicious wines from Morgante, both loaded with varietal character.
