From a low-altitude, sea-facing vineyard site, the 2016 NeroMàccarj shows the ripe and succulent side of Nero d'Avola. The wine opens to an inky dark appearance with aromas that are thick and broad, creating a tall wall of plummy black fruit. The wine is very immediate and impactful, and you don't need to do too much digging before you recognize all those broad-brush aromas on the bouquet. That bitterness that you sometimes get in the NeroSanloré does not appear here. Some 6,500 bottles were released.
