The 2015 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Lu Patri embraces every last sunbeam of this hot vintage. This is a dark and saturated expression of Sicily's Nero d'Avola grape that delivers ripe, almost sweet, tones of Morello cherry and cherry liqueur. You also get cinnamon, tilled earth and baking spice. The wine shows soft tannins and lots of rich fiber and dark padding. A good pairing would be beef bourguignon. Production is 15,220 bottles.
