Firiatta Chiaramonte 2005
The Chiaramonte is a Sicilian wine made of 100% Nero D'Avolo and is a medium bodied wine that has a nice deep purple color with a nose of prunes and raisins. On the palate, I picked up some peppery cherries and some chocolate on the back with some really soft tannins. I paired this with a grilled chicken and herbs. It would go well with most grilled meats and would also go nicely with pasta. It retails for about $15. Give this one a try. We really enjoyed this wine.
