Fondo Antico Nene Nero D'Avola 2021

''Clear ruby red with subtle brightening on the rim and a purple sheen. Red currant and cherry, a touch of lavender and smoky hints. On the palate, fruit driven, fresh and with vibrant acidity and ripe tannin.'' 91 Points, Falstaff Wine Guide

''Smooth and juicy, this opens with aromas of ripe black-skinned berry, violet and baking spice. The aromas carry over to the savory palate, along with spiced blueberry and white pepper. Rounded tannins and fresh acidity provide the easy-going framework.'' Best Buy Recommendation, Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast Magazine (Previous Vintage Review)

''This nero d'Avola sums up the welcoming warmth of Sicilian red wine well. It smells exotic with cherry, prune, spice and orange peel aromas that track through a complex, middleweight palate of smooth, easy richness. Soft tannins and a tangy, ripe/savoury finish complete the picture.''  Ralph Kyte - Powell, Good Food Wine Guide (Previous Vintage Review)

''Until recently Sicilian wine was a bit of a mystery to many of us, but that’s changing as Australians become more familiar with the magical properties of good Italian wine. This nero d’avola has a bright ruby colour of medium-depth, aroma reminiscent of cherries, prunes, orange peel and spice. It’s medium-bodied, complex and richly-flavoured, combining ripe and savoury threads together through a smooth mouthful, finished with soft ripe tannins and a tangy aftertaste.''  The Real Review (Previous Vintage Review)
