Tasting- "Resonata Nero D'Avola

Name: Resonata Nero D'Avola
Variety: N/A
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $14

Winery Review: The grapes are soft pressed and the juice is placed in stainless steel along with the skins for a maceration of 8 to 10 days with daily pumping over of the juice to extract more color and sweet tannins. Dense ruby red with violet reflections. Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice. Harmonious and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background. Excellent with lamb, grilled and barbecued meats, dishes with olives or capers and seasoned cheeses.

My Review: This Sicilian red wine had a bright red color to it with a little hint pink. It also smelled really strong like a sharpee marker. It had a really bitter taste. I did not like this wine and it tasted like a skin of an orange.
