This wine has become part of the Sicilia DOC since the last time I tasted it. The 2018 Sicilia Nero d'Avola (closed with a glass cork) shows a dark color saturation and a terrific personality. The unoaked wine is bright and thick, with plenty of dark primary fruit to grab your attention. The intensity is there, but the complexity not so much. It hardly matters anyway because this wine is all about freshness and easy-drinking accessibility. I would pair it with my favorite spicy sausage and broccoletti pizza. Production is large at 700,000 bottles made, and you get great value here.
