The 2011 Feudo di Santa Tresa Purato Nero d'Avola Terre Siciliane begins with aromas of sour cherry, a bit of smoked meat, earth and savory Italian herbs. In fact, it almost smells like a good pizza or marinara sauce, which is certainly what you should eat it with! Tasting the wine reveals it to be loaded with rich and juicy sour cherry and other red berry flavors, more savory herbs and even a hint of green olives. Soft tannins and a smooth texture lead into the long finish which also features a bit of black tea under the rich fruit.
