Nero D’Avola Lagnusa Sicilia DOC — 2022 – Vinous – 91 Points
"The 2022 Nero d'Avola Lagnusa is perfumed with a fresh mix of wild berries and spices accentuated by hints of blood orange. It's soft-textured and lifted in feel with vibrant acidity and crisp wild berry fruit. The 2022 finishes energetic and pleasantly tart, puckering the cheeks while keeping the mouth watering for more."
