Dark Ruby with youthful purple notes - very dense almost black. After decanting a whiff of high quality French oak. Black and blue fruits. Might have opened this a little young. It’s full bodied and powerful. 70% Petit Verdot, 30% Cesanese, somewhat of a unicorn - I doubt if I could find this in Australia. Bought at the Cellar door on a Sicily tour with Scud MW at Franchetti on the favoured northern slopes of Mount Etna. In a blind tasting I would pick this as Bordeaux. The fruit richness dominates and doesn’t allow much Etna derived volcanic minerality to show through. Much riper and richer than you would expect from an Etna wine. This is the premium cuvée from Franchetti. Would love to try another one in 5 years if I had one. — 7 months ago

When in Rome, drink Roman wine. This is a nice table wine - perfect for dinner here on our first night. — 2 years ago

One of the better cesanese I have had, great acidity, good dark fruit, a little tobacco in the finish…wish I saw more of these — 5 months ago

Surprisingly bitter for a light “pinot-like” grape. Needs time to fully open (duh). — 2 years ago

Wow! This blend is amazing. It starts with big fruit notes - plum and blackberry. Then the tannins set in and you get a leathery finish. — 8 months ago
