Sicilian Nero D'Avolas

[Botafogo]

Yep! We just got back from VinItaly where we had dinner with the fine folks at Azienda Curto who make stunners from NDA and also tasting some very nice examples from Barone la Lumia and Ceuso di Melea. It is interesting that two of our favorite varietals, NDA and Lagrein Dunkel have similar textures and uses at table yet come from as far south (Sicilia) and as far North (Alto Adige) as you can get!
