The old blackboard-style label that used to adorn this wine has gone but you can still chalk this one up to bang-on-trend winemaking. Baglio Antico is an organic vegan-friendly low sulphur Nero d’Avola. Crafted by Ciello just outside Alcamo in northwest Sicily it has a fresh character from its maritime proximity and oodles of rustic charm. When Inspector Montalbano sits down to a bowl of pasta and a glass of wine on the balcony we’re pretty sure it’s this he’s pouring.
Juicy black cherry black pepper chocolate and a zippy acidity that has you coming straight back for another sip. The finish is a coffee-infused woody and earthy affair that makes you think of foraging for brambles in a forest with a Thermos flask of mocha. All-in-all it’s a cracking weeknight red for serving up on dark nights with pasta pizza stews and comfort food.
