Photo taken from Moodle
Name: Tenuta Rapitala
Variety: Nero d'Avola
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2016
Price: $7.95, Regular Price $14 Sale

Winery Review: This early-drinking Nero d'Avola opens with ripe black-skinned fruit, tilled soil and cooking spice aromas. Straightforward and savory, it delivers black cherry, blackberry and ground pepper flavors alongside round tannins. - Wine Enthusiast, 87 pts

My Review: Cherry, blackberries offered a bold but lighter bodied red wine. It was spicy and strong but had a bitter, lighter after taste. Tannins were persistent during the finish.

With/without food: I tasted this on its own without food.
