!00% Nerello Mascalese, Single Contrada from a favorite Sicilian Producer. This isn’t the typical lighter, easy drinking Nerello. This has body, weight and complexity. Darker fruit: black cherry, blackberry,raspberry, smoke, with tannins and acidity. Definitely capable of aging but I have a hard time time not drinking them! — 9 months ago
Really lovely. Smooth, but flavoursome. Perfect with or without food. Two of us sat in the sun and polished it off in no time. — 5 years ago
Back at Arcane after a year+. Dinner was excellent as always- the tasting menu seemed like a best of with all of their classic dishes. The wine picked by our Som was exactly as he explained-starts juicy but with time it opened up and got more complex. — 2 months ago
Dark fruit, some leather, graphite. Fresh, nice acid with good grip. Beautiful mouth feel. Really like this one. — 2 years ago

No notes but to emphasize the obvious: boy, this goes Zelig with air. Starts off Beaujolais like, slightly unripe blackberries, crunchy cranberries & shortish finish ( like Dolcetto!) but ends (& would keep going!) as absurdly satisfying, elegant even with a very earthy palate of wild berries & pitch perfect snap. Yum. — 8 months ago
Crisp and clean with good fruit and flavors. Very nice. — 3 years ago
Really nice big white - full bodied, dry and bold with some soft tannins on the finish. Lots of pear and some honey dew. — 5 years ago

Vintage 2016 | I am learning on Nebbiolo and this is good practice material. See the description of 2016 of @Lyle Fass very adequate. A treat! — a month ago
