2000 Morgante Don Antonio Nero d'Avola


'00 Morgante Don Antonio Nero d'Avola $24.99
In Sicily, Nero D'Avola is indisputably the red grape for wines of excellence and it is this vine that the Morgante family has always cultivated. Bud break in the first part of June, is generally accompanied by a climate that is particularly mild with gentle, fresh breezes. During the maturation period, warm days and cool nights allow for exceptional ripening.

Morgante Riserva, Don Antonio, is made from the finest Nero d'Avola grapes and oldest vineyards. This deliciously rich red wine is full of bright fruit and spicy tannins. The wine strikes just the right balance between lush ripe fruit and moderate structure.
