Caruso & Minini Vualá Nero d’Avola 2022

The 2022 Nero d’Avola Vualá impresses with its lively character and vividly ripe red and black fruits. Crushed blueberries and blackberries mingle with citrus zest and sage. The texture is soft and round, yet the wine remains surprisingly fresh and lifted, with a core of wild berries that slowly saturates. The 2022 leaves the palate reeling as a bump of residual acidity and a hint of sour lemon lingers. Drinking window: 2025-2028. Score – 91. (Eric Guido, vinous.com, July 1, 2025)
