Vino Rosso Sicilia: A great wine for a teething child to suck from your pinky.

Region: Sicily
Producer: Caviro SCA
Selection: Tesco
Varietal: Red, Nerello MascaleseNero D'Avola
Vintage: None
Volume: 12%
Price: w8, 900
Taste: "Light and fruity".
Notes: Juicy but not to sweet. Clean, fleeting, a subtle suggestion of raisins, currants, prunes. Wouldn't stand up to a proper Sicilian pizza. Try something more ballsy, something salty, spicy. Serve it a little chilled in high balls, at this price you can afford to. Mangiamo!
Music: Rai, Khaled in particular.
Food Something North African with lots of harissa.  A spicy zuppa di pesce maybe, this is a wine that won't get in the way of loud spices.
