Tasting Week 5: Resonata Nero D'Avola


Variety: Nero d'Avola 
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $6.95
Food?: Not paired with food.






Winery Review:
Dense ruby red with violet reflections.  Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries,and spice.  Harmonious and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background.


My Review:
Not a bad red at all for sub $7 at the Vintage Cellar.  I would absolutely recommend this red for everyone who "detests red wine," as I did prior to taking the wine class.  A very mild red with a light and refreshing nose, this Italian wine has a deep pinkish-purple color.  With a hint of various dark berries on the palate, the Resonata is very light and smooth, perfect for a new wine drinker.  While this may not have as much depth as some other reds I've tasted, I would say it is not a bad find.
