The Sainsbury's Italian range is always strong and this new Sicilian Nero d'Avola is a great addition – especially for under a tenner. It's a little fruit bomb, with masses of ripe black cherry, black raspberries and blackberries on the nose and palate. A touch of Syrah (10%) adds richness to the palate, but there's good balancing acidity too with partial barrique-ageing adding just enough structure for food.
