Siccagno Nero d'Avola 2020

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90 minutes. The 2020 Siccagno pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of blackberry, black cherry, pomegranate, dry leaf tobacco, wood varnish, and volcanic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. This is a fresh, if not slightly volatile Siccagno but it was lovely with cappellacci on a warm summer day. Drink now through 2035. — 10 days ago

Terre Siciliane Il Frappato

Light and tart at the outset. First notes are full of juice with pomegranate, green apple, and apricots. This lingers on into the finish with just a touch of smoke. Easy to enjoy. — 15 days ago

Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Frappato Nero d'Avola 2021

Almost port-like nose of dried plums or cherries, a little funky and earthy on the palate, some leather and horse blanket mixed with the dried cherry and a medium tannin and pretty bright for a red. Medium body and long finish. Deep garnet hue and was still good chilled. — 3 days ago
