Tesco Finest Nero d'Avola 2008

I am a sucker for Southern Italian reds, and this is a lovely Nero d'Avola, displaying the slightly bitter black cherry notes somehow with a core of sweetness on the finish at the same time. Bottled by Cantine Settesoli, this is quite a focussed, pure, refined example, not 'rustic' as some of these can be. Not much in the way of complexity but excellent concentration. Astringent finish dissipates with air, quite a good glugger...
