TASTING NOTE: This wine's name, Gazzerotta, refers to the black-and-white magpies that fly over the neighbouring fields in autumn. There's nice dark cherry, plum, chocolate, anise and a touch of bacon in this complex little Nero d'Avola. Pour it with pasta carbonara or bacon-wrapped chicken skewers for a pairing worth crowing about. (Vintages panel, June 2017) Price $ 15.95
