A delicious taste of the southern Italian sunshine took top honours as Category Champion. The Nero has intense aromas of ripe plum, black fruits, coffee and oak and some savoury, barnyard notes for a bit of complexity. The palate is full and rich, bursting with ripe fruit, chocolatey oak, just enough acidity to keep it balanced and clove spice that lingers on a long finish.
