Tasting - Resonata Nero D'Avola

Name: Resonata Nero D'Avola
Variety: Nero d'Avola
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $14.00
Shop Review: "The grapes are soft pressed and the juice is placed in stainless steel along with the skins for a maceration of 8 to 10 days with daily pumping over of the juice to extract more color and sweet tannins. Dense ruby red with violet reflections. Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice. Harmonious and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background. Excellent with lamb, grilled and barbecued meats, dishes with olives or capers and seasoned cheeses."
My Review: This wine had a deep, red color. It smelled slightly like a forrest, reminding me of berries, but also kind of an acidic scent. It tasted bitter to me at first, but later I thought I noticed notes of something toasted. Don't really know how I felt about this one. Was not paired with any food.
