Rating

Bravo to Feudo Arancio for producing a Nero d’Avola of this caliber at such an attractive price point. Its nose is rich with floral and rose-like notes backed by blueberry and vanilla. The structure is firm and the tannins give backbone. It’s informal but refined at the same time. Wine Enthusiast 88 points

Food pairing

It goes well with risotto, baked pasta, red meats, game, lamb and seasoned cheeses.
