The Baglio del Cristo di Campobello 2017 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Lu Patri is a fine bottle of red wine delivered to us from the heart of the Mediterranean. This wine is beautifully ripened and soft, with plenty of cherry and dark berry fruit. After 14 months in barrique and 14 months in bottle, the tannins in this release of about 14,000 bottles are mild, and the wine avoids those sharp or thorny notes that you sometimes get with this proud Sicilian grape. The soft, almost Merlot-like approach offered here would pair with any number of pasta dishes or even a classic lasagna.
