Uncle Joseph from the famous Pellegrino Cellar in Marsala is produced from Nero d’Avola grapes grown in clayey soil near Marsala in western Sicily.
This beautiful fortified ruby red Marsala wine is extremely fruity, with notes of black cherries, pomegranates and plums. It is sweet, with evident hints of red berries, black cherries, Marasca cherries and pomegranates.
I haven’t tried every bottle in this selection yet, however, so far they are all very tasty. I’m a Chardonnay lover, always on the look out for a dryish not sweet wine and these are just right for me. An excellent mixed case and we’ll priced.
This was a very nice surprise in Wine Direct’s very welcome Plenty Under $20 category. Beautifully fruity, rich and smooth. Often the Plenty Under $20 range is a little light for the depth I like but I will definitely be reordering this one.
A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay
