Tasting: Villa Pozzi Nero

Name: Villa Pozzi Nero
Variety: Nero
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95

Winery 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: What first struck me about this wine was the soft, earthy smell. There was a hit of white pepper and then a medium-strength apricot finish. 

Food: None
