Sallier de la Tour, Sicilia DOC (Sicily, Italy) Nero d’Avola 2020

Feb 27, 2024

By Roger Morris

 This is a member of the Tasca d’Almerita family of Sicilian wines, created in 2008 in the hills near Palermo.  It’s a very smooth wine, but a leaner smooth, with many blended red fruits in flavor with some barrel notes, light tannins and a kick-in of bright cherries at the finish.  Even though a lighter wine, it still has good presence on the palate.
