Mandrarossa Nero d'Avola 2024

Case discounts (can be mixed cases) 5% off 6 bottles (£14.25 each) 10% off 12+ bottles (£13.50 each) 2024 / Sicily / Italy Nero d'Avola / 13.5% / organic It piqued my interest when Decanter magazine recently awarded this wine 95 points in one of their panel tastings. That's a high score but an incredibly high score when you consider that this is only £15 a bottle. Having shared a few glasses last night with some good friends, I can confirm that this is a what we call a "no brainer". It's truly sensational for the price and you'd be mad not to fill your boots. Fresh and bright with juicy wild strawberry, cherry, spice, pepper, minerals, aromatics and vanilla, it's got enough silky texture, flavour and complexity to make you think it's a more expensive wine. It is light enough to drink on its own or with a variety of dishes and I think you could probably chill this down a touch if you fancy a BBQ red. Astoundingly good for the money, organic too, and my only criticism was that the 75cl bottle didn't seem to last long....
