Firriato - Nari Sicilia - 2019

Firriato

Nari Sicilia 2019

Under $16

Sicilia IGT 2019, Nari, Nero d’Avola / Petit Verdot, Firriato, Italy red, $9.70, SAQ # 11905809. I’m still shocked at the price of this wine, and it remains one of the best deals at the SAQ. Nero d’avola and petit verdot, grown in the heat of Sicily. Dark fruit, mouth-coating tannin, no hocus-pocus with fake wood notes and no excess residual sugar. This is one of those unicorn wines that tastes well above what the price suggests. Grape varieties: nero d’avola, petit verdot. Residual sugar: 2.1 g/L. Serve at: 16 C. Drink now. Food pairing ideas: rib roast, pepper steak.
