| + | <html>Sicily is one of the highest volume Italian wine producers and Nero d'Avola is the most important Sicilian red grape. So why haven't I ever reviewed a wine made from such a grape? Colosi is a third-generation wine cellar in the port city of Messina. They have no website but have 6 hectares (15 acres) of vines that produce about 220 thousand bottles a year, 80% red, 10% white, and I guess 10% sweet. This wine carries the not overly fancy Nero D'Avola Sicilia IGT appellation. Are we surprised in our price range? Actually I had to pay almost $15 but you should get it for less. The companion wine is a cheaper Sicilian Nero d'Avola with a different and sometimes better appellation.<br> | ||

| + | Wine Reviewed Colosi Nero d'Avola, 2009 14 % alcohol about $12. <br> | ||
| + | Let's start by quoting the marketing materials. "Tasting Note : The 2009 Nero d'Avola emerges from the glass with layers of vibrant, perfumed red fruit. This silky, graceful red offers tons of varietal character and wonderful balance in an up-front,[http://51uno.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2111074 What To Wear On Your First Date], juicy style I find particularly appealing. The Nero d'Avola is aged exclusively in steel, which helps preserve quite a bit of freshness. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2013. Score - 89. (Antonio Galloni, at the Robert Parker website, June 2010). And now for my review. <br> | ||
| + | At the first sips this wine was round, dark, and somewhat sweet. I started with Japanese rice crackers that increased its acidity. The initial meal was a boxed vegetarian lasagna with Ricotta and Mozzarella cheese that I freely doused with grated Parmesan cheese. In response Nero offered dark plums and very light tannins. Its acidity was slightly harsh. <br> | ||
| + | The next meal featured a barbecued chicken leg. Now this drink was chewy and dark. Its tannins were round. When paired with the side dish of potatoes roasted in chicken fat,[http://www.architecturebois.fr/wikibois/index.php?title=Utilisateur:Xpuzqpai5#Bathtub_Water_Usage Bathtub Water Usage], this Sicilian was sweet and almost tasted burnt. It was long. In the face of zesty guacamole the libation picked up a bit of pepper. The fruit juice candy dessert imparted a tinge of acidity to this wine,<b>[http://dpitsolutions.com.au/webdesignports.aspx Custom 49ers NFL Jerseys]</b>, which stayed long. <br> | ||
| + | My final meal centered on slowly cooked shoulder steak. Now the drink was quite long. Its predominant taste was dark chocolate. When paired with the accompanying potatoes cooked with the meat, the wine thinned out. The drink lost some edge when I doused the meat with lots of Louisiana hot sauce. A Turkish salad consisting of tomato,<b>[http://www.trutamil.com/images/Custom-New-York-Jets-Jerseys.html Cheap Custom New York Jets Jerseys]</b>, tomato paste, onion, sweet red pepper,<b>[http://dpitsolutions.com.au/webdesignports.aspx Cheap Custom 49ers Jerseys]</b>, garlic, sugar, and other spices made the wine blossom, at first I tasted apples. <br> | ||
| + | Final verdict. I don't think that I will bother with this wine again. It came close but didn't quite make it, maybe because I can be such a fan of Italian wine. I don't think I set the bar too high; I think this Nero jumped too low. | ||
