Corvo Nero d'avola

Whoa, seriously dark nose on this wine from the moment I opened the bottle. Dark cherries rolled around in earth, toasted wood/ashes, and herbs. There is something perfume-like about it as well, floral/vegetation.

Dry tart plums and berries on the palate. Not a dark flavor to it, as the nose would suggest. Rather a light body with decent tannins and acidity.

I think a grilled herbal sausage in stewed tomatoes would be really good with this. Alongside of a cheese filled pasta.
