Tasting Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola



Name: Villa Pozzi
Variety: Neor D’Avola
Region: Sicily 
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95
Vintage Cellar Review: Very dark purple, with a reddish-violet edge, typical of this grape.  Black plums, a hint of licorice and subtle spice, not overly complex but appealing.  A big mouth full of juicy black fruit is well structured by tart acidity and soft but distinct tannins. 
My Review: The color of this wine is pretty dark but still a true red color.  The smell is peppery and spicy and there is a dry and bitter aftertaste to this wine.  For my taste it is too dry.  It feels nutty.  It creates the sensation of licking hundreds of walnut shells, and its rather uncomfortable on the middle of the tongue.  There isn’t too much fruitiness.  I would say this wine is a little harsh and very very dry.
