Archeo Nero d'Avola Ruggero di Tasso 2005

Price: $5.99
SoG Wine Score: 89
Avg User Wine Score: --
Region: Sicily: Nero d'Avola grape

From the winemaker: Lots of berry character with soft tannins and a lightly jammy finish. Pair with red sauced dishes and grilled meats. Nero d'Avola is "the most important red wine grape in Sicily."

Overall, we thought this wine to be on par with the high praise.

the ideal meal: we had this bottle with our trademark classic marinara pasta with hot Italian sausage.
