"The 2021 Nero d'Avola Il Moro is remarkably pretty. It opens with a cascade of blue and purple florals, ginger and citrus-spiked blackberries. Supremely juicy and vibrant in character, it splashes across the palate with depths of tart wild berry fruit driven by brisk acidity and a twang of blood orange. The 2021 lingers with medium length, a touch of licorice and a hint of citrus."

"Earthy in character, offering ripe cherries, blackberries and hints of licorice. Medium- to full-bodied with compact, velvety tannins, leading to a savory, lightly drying finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
