Wine Review: This dark red colored Nero d'Avola from Sicily opens with a violet and red currant bouquet. on the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round and juicy. The flavor profile is a loam influenced black plum with notes of oak. I also detected hints of black cherry and orange zest. The finish is dry, and its moderate dusty tannins linger nicely. I would pair this Nero d'Avola with grilled marinated steak tips. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Sherazade has a brilliant ruby red color with violet reflections. The nose offers a pleasantly fruity bouquet with fragrant notes of red plum and sour cherry, combined with light spicy scents. The palate is fleshy and perfectly reflects the bouquet revealing an extraordinary freshness. The well-integrated tannin completes this fragrant and pleasant wine. We suggest it with fish soup, pizza, or classic tomato spaghetti.
