Azienda Agricola COS Nero di Lupo Terre Siciliane Nero d'Avola 2013

Will Atkinson

Rustic, yet refined. Softer and lighter than the bigger boys. Really nice.

BurgundyFan

Mild, elegant, almost a Pinot Noir

Warm blackberries and spice notes. Way more acidity than I expected. There is this unique quality in these more natural sicilian producers where they can just nail that balance between ripe fruitiness and tart freshness.

Cristóbal Arellano Borges

Wow. Chiller

Jody Scharf

Lighter in alcohol

Jenks

Structured for days. 12%. I want to pour this on my face.

Raff

Clear ruby red. Bright raspberry on the nose. Tart rapsberry juice, lemon peels, blood oranges. Very much what you think of when you think of Sicily.

Tyler Caine

A bit underwhelming. Well balanced but mild, like you're waiting for the rest of the story. Expensive for the experience.

Sam Peter

Another would drink again 8.9 for the snowstorm #winesathome

Jed

Wild blackberry, Santa Rosa plum and blood orange against red clay and wet straw – a dark, earthy wine with gentle tannins. Giambattista Cilia & Gusto Occhipiniti of natural winery COS bring us this perfectly finessed, unfiltered, very low-sulfite beauty – exactly what we hope for when we think of Nero D'Avola. Extremely drinkable, Nero Di Lupo (The Black Wolf) plays well with just about any savory dish, but cries out for a bacon-cheeseburger or a black bean burrito. Viva Sicily!
