Morgante Nero d'Avola

Romazini: 5/5 Stars

Powerful, fullbodied and modern style Nero d'Avola from Sicily. For years one of the most solid wines at this price level.

The Winespectator: 89/100 Points

Vintage 2008: Ripe, with layers of black plum, cassis, tobacco and mocha held on a bright frame, with fine tannins filling out the tarry finish. Drink now through 2012.

Robert Parker: 89/100 Points

Morgante's 2008 Nero d'Avola is a delicious entry-level wine bursting with dark fruit, spices and French oak. This is without question a powerful style of Nero d'Avola where the oak has added a measure of textural richness and complexity. In another few months the wine should be even more integrated. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
