Note di degustazione
Lots of pretty red fruits, mint, flowers, leather, and a kiss of peppery, resinous herbs all emerge from the 2011 Nero D'Avola Selezione Vrucara, which is medium-bodied and has a balanced, seamless, elegant texture, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. I believe this is all Nero d'Avola, and it was tasted from a magnum, which took a full day of air to show at its best. It's incredibly complex, has no hard edges, offers integrated acidity, and is just a joy to drink. I’d be thrilled to have bottles in the cellar and would plan on opening them any time over the coming decade.

The delicious 2011 Nero d'Avola Vrucara is one of the protagonists of Sicilian enology. Fabio Sireci is on an explosive upward trajectory that started at an already impressive quality level. His wines just get better and better. By law, a wine labeled Nero d'Avola must be 85% true to the variety, and I don't know if anything else is added here, but it hardly matters. Vrucara sees fruit sourced from the Principato di Villanova property in central Sicily. The wine is loaded tight with bold berry intensity, olive tapenade, hummus, crushed earth, tobacco and balsam herb. You rarely see this level of complexity with Nero d'Avola. I love everything about this beautiful wine. Fruit is sourced from 90-year-old pre-phylloxera vines.
