Alcesti, Sicilia DOC (Sicily, Italy) Nero d’Avola 2021

Sep 17, 2024

By Miranda Franco

 The 2021 Alcesti Appassinesos, made entirely from Nero d’Avola, is a dependable choice for an everyday, approachable red.  It greets you with enticing aromas of cassis, plum, and subtle cherry, enhanced by notes of ripe raspberry, spices, herbs, and a hint of dark chocolate.  On the palate, it is fruity, juicy, and well-balanced, with bright minerality and lively acidity.  Its bold fruit flavors and vibrant acidity make it an excellent pairing for roasted or grilled red meats.
