Natalie's Score: 89/100

A juicy, tasty, well-priced southern Italian red wine from the island of Sicily. Made from the island's classic grape Nero d'Avola, it offers so much flavour and character: fleshy ripe black plums and blackberries with some smoke. Pair with meat lovers' pizza.

Nero D'avola food pairings: vegetarian lasagne, pasta with rich sun-dried tomato sauce, cheesy pizza.
