Good full ruby. Begins rather stern, then opens with aeration to showcase precise aromas of graphite, blueberry, and violet. Medium bodied and quite tangy, with fresh acids giving the flavors similar to the aromas a piercing quality. Finishes with silky tannins and great freshness. A lovely Nero d’Avola of early appeal.

I love the sweet, floral and mulberry nose of this succulent Nero d’Avola. The gentle tannins creep up on you at the finish, making it even more delicious. Good length and food compatibility.

Tasca d’Almerita is an aristocratic and historically important Sicilian producer. Lamùri (Sicilian for l’amore or love) is a pretty, medium-bodied version of Nero d’Avola from a cool, high-altitude site. Intriguing spice and ripe cherry aromas and a mouthwatering, fresh finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Here is another excellent value wine from Sicily. The 2016 Sicilia Nero d’Avola Lamùri Tenuta Regaleali (aged in barrique for 12 months) shows a lot of varietal authenticity with dried cherry aromas followed by black olive, caper and toasted pistachio nut. All those aromas take you straight to Sicily in heart and mind. This vintage takes a little longer to open and swing into action. Bottle production is large with 260,000 units made.
Primitivo is a red wine grape variety primarily grown in the Puglia region of Italy and California, known for producing rich, full-bodied wines that can be enjoyed as a varietal or blended. Characterized by its deep flavors of dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, along with notes of black cherry, spice, and chocolate, Primitivo offers a complex tasting experience that appeals to many wine enthusiasts.
The aromas of Primitivo are equally enticing, featuring ripe fruit alongside hints of vanilla, tobacco, and leather. With smooth tannins and a texture that can range from velvety to jammy, this wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats like lamb and beef, hearty pasta dishes such as Bolognese, barbecue fare, and aged cheeses. Its versatility makes it suitable for both casual dining occasions like family gatherings or barbecues as well as more formal events.
