"The 2020 Nero d'Avola Il Moro lifts from the glass with an herbal blend of crushed wild berries, stone dust and balsamic spice. Luxuriously smooth yet lifted in feel, it sweeps across the palate with ripe red and blue fruits over a tantalizing core of zesty acidity. The 2020 tapers off perfumed and long, with a staining of primary concentration and gently grippy tannins that frame the experience well."
