From MetroWines

Press release

Gaetana Jacono Gola LIVE from Sicily

Just in time for Thanksgiving, Gaetana Jacono Gola, owner and winemaker at Valle Dell’Acate in Sicily, joins us LIVE via Skype from Sicily for a tasting of her new wine, “Il Moro.” Join us for this “on the house” LIVE tasting on Friday, November 20th at 11:30am @MetroWines.

This 100% Nero d’Avola is made from 20 year old vines grown in very dark, almost black soil with a good presence of small dark stones. The wine presents a good structure with aromas of red berries, blackberries, raspberries, cherries and dark chocolate. With strong but pleasant tannins, the wine is balanced and very pleasant.

“This is a limited edition wine,” says Gina Trippi, co-owner of MetroWines, “but abundantly affordable and perfect for the holidays as a gift or on your table.”

MetroWines is at 169 Charlotte Street. Visit metrowinesasheville.com for more information.
