Tasting notes
The 2013 Sicilia Sàgana (100% Nero d'Avola that is aged in large oak casks for 12 months) is a full and voluptuous wine. This generous expression offers black cherry, spice and toasted almond. Fruit is sourced from the Tenuta San Giacomo single vineyard with white limestone soils. This is Nero d'Avola's favorite growing environment. This wine reaches great intensity and complexity - something that is not always easy to pull off with this variety.

A wonderfully fruity yet firm wine with tannin tension, hints of wood and a citrusy finish. Full and fruity. Remains tight and polished. A beautiful single-vineyard nero d'avola. Drink or hold. Nov 2015, www.jamessuckling.com
