Miopasso Nero d'Avola 2009
A new shipment of this delicious wines has just arrived. We try to keep our superlatives to a minimum but every now and again there's a wine that just blows us away. This wine is fantastic.

Ridiculously delicious. This new find from Sicily (where else?)has got us very excited indeed. It is made using the 'Ripasso' method of production which is best-known as the standard method used for producing the blockbuster Amarone wines of Veneto in northern Italy. But used here in sunny Sicily the result is an explosively fragrant, concentrated, rich and flavourful wine with fabulous length and freshness on the finish. Exciting stuff, really one of the most interesting reds we've found in ages.

"Brimful of juicy, sweet berry flavours, some jam, spice and dried herb notes. Just lashings of soft black fruit and spice in this richly complex and exotic Sicilian red. It finishes with impressively clean, fresh acid considering all that richness."

If you've enjoyed any of our bargain-priced Sicilian reds before, think of this as a turbo-charged version! This is on a completely different quality level, but still outrageously good value at well under twenty bucks.
