Zabu Il Passo Nerello Mascalese Nero d’Avola 2014 $32 ★★★★★

Zabu Il Passo Nerello Mascalese Nero d’Avola 2014 $32 ★★★★★Yvonne2017-04-11T11:25:03+12:00

I absolutely LOVE this wine!  With intense blackcurrant, cherry and sweet, concentrated plum flavours, it’s a total Sicilan fruit fest.  Yet these fresh, juicy berry layers are cloaked in dark chocolate, bouquet-garni herbs, cedar and seasoned leather, juniper and hints of espresso.  Velvety, plush and practically unputdownable.
