2004 Monte Pietrosco Nero (sp?) d'Avola (Sicily)

Again with the BriggsnBru at the Amici Miei Restaurante in Scharbeek. What a great little place and a very smooth vino perfectly complementing the pasta ala clams and later the veal. Back in the day, after riding the liberty boats into Catania, I've had many a sicilian that burned the throat like a delco battery juice--but this Nero d' Av was pure sweetness and light. Fantastic atmosphere, the owner is a truly a mein host in the old style. A very nice way to kiss off the ides of March!
