Regaleali, Sicilia DOC (Sicily, Italy) Nero d’Avola 2020

 Regaleali, owned by the Tasca d’Almerita family, one of the most famous and important producers in Sicily, rarely fails.  They certainly didn’t with this one, a harmonious balance of berry fruit and savory notes enrobed with a supple and suave texture.  This gentle red, weighing in at a mere 13 percent stated alcohol, has an appealing character than would pair beautifully with tomato sauced pasta or seafood.  A bargain for summertime drinking.
