カリカンテ100%ステンレス熟成。
息子の10歳の誕生日ということで開けてみた。

いかにもいい葡萄を感じる濃いめの色。
少し熟成したカリンや黄桃、オイリーなニュアンス、蜜リンゴ、枇杷、ミント、後にはシャープな酸。
熟成感があるので、2本のうち一本はもう少し早めに開けても良かったのかも… — a month ago

This wine has a dusty rose color, darker than pink but lighter than red. The nose was a surprise, and not a particularly good one. There was hardly any fruit to speak of at all. The dominant aroma was a funky, barnyard sort of smell. On the palate there were flavors of cherry and Meyer lemon, with a savory overlay and a ton of salinity. If you can get past the first whiff, the taste is a treat. Mine paired very well with a spicy soppressata, some cheese, and an onion focaccia bread. — 3 months ago

First time having this bottling and it was quite enjoyable. A pleasant surprise.

Wines from Sicily have come up in quality and are deserving of more world attention.
