Another good value wine, the 2015 Sicilia Nero d'Avola takes a very direct and immediate approach to the grape. This Nero d'Avola shows the dark olive, caper and rosemary aromas you often get with this grape. The nose is rustic and genuine. Dark berry fruit and wild berry are followed by some scorched earth and sun-dried tobacco. The wine is streamlined and tight with a sour point of cranberry on the close.

The 2012 Sicilia Nero d’Avola is a great value deal, especially if you are in the market for a fresh and upfront Sicilian red without too many bells and whistles. This is the kind of informal wine to pair with grilled sausages, onions and green peppers. Medium bodied in color and concentration, the wine opens to earthy layers with bold cherry fruit, crushed flowers and a background tinge of jammy raspberry. Its texture is plush and chewy, but there’s a good dose of freshness that keeps it from feeling heavy. Drink 2014-2016. Importer: Match Direct Wine Import, www.matchvino.com
