Ceccherini Cristiano

9.2

Lo-Fi wine, but if i don't tell you
You wouldn't know
Super elegant, clean
Delicate mandarin fruit with a big splash of sea spray. Great mineral, but being super easy drinking.
Moltitude of pairing possible
From seafood to fresh cheese
Pizza bianca with mortadella or
Spaghettoni butter and anchovies
It can be an aperitif on its own but even though it is only 11.5% it's fleshy and mouthfilling
Definitely a wine to try — a month ago

Enjoying under $20 Italian wine. Gives me purple lips and teeth. High tannins? Dark thick fruit. Smooth. Short dry finish. — 5 years ago

Leggy, lovely and kind of peppery. Quite dry. Going well with some pate and cheese. — 5 years ago

Crunchy, juicy, spicy and savoury expression of nero d'avola
Wild fermented if that matters
And no sulphites added
A very enjoyable version — 3 months ago

Syrah made in a Sicilian style, nearly nero d'Avola like i would suggest.
Fresh, crunchy, vibrant.
Spadafora has become very much hands off in the last few years. Certified organic, wild fermentation and no sulphites added to this wine. I love the label that says 1.8kg per plant.
Great effort. — 8 months ago

10 years old released Nero d'Avola is quite a surprise
Still fully alive, layers of complexity on the nose and on the palate
Long a nd enjoyable — 8 months ago

This winery used to be quite commercial, but with the new generation coming on board they left everything behind.
They turned into a minimal intervention venture.
They inherited the fairly old vines, but the changed approach gives a completely different perspective.

This nero d'Avola is extremely out of the ordinary.
It's bright, crunchy, crisp, luminous, fresg, clean and, to my surprise for when i taste nero d'Avola, very elegant, very French like elegancy.
I think of Beaujolais or of some new style crunchy South Australian grenache.
This wine is fun to drink, not cerebral, i recommend you give it a go. If you don't like it, bring it to me.
Not expensive at all. — a year ago
