Morgante’s deeply-colored 2006 Nero d’Avola is an opulent wine packed with blackberry liqueur, cassis, minerals and toasted oak. It offers notable persistence on the palate but shows a few rough edges that keep the score from going higher. Still, this is a supremely enjoyable wine to drink now and over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010.Morgante is an excellent source for top-notch wines from Sicily.A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
