Donnafugata

Sul Vulcano Etna Bianco Carricante


Shows a pale yellow color. The nose opens with lemon, apple, and peach, with a hint of vanilla. On the palate, there’s a burst of citrus, especially grapefruit, along with a touch of minerality and bright acidity.

Donnafugata

Sul Vulcano Etna Rosso Red Blend 2021

Vineyard from the north area of the vulcano.
Last acquisition of Donnafugata in terms of time , but not in terms of importance.
A true mineral expression of a Sicilian wine
Intense, long, generous, mouthfilling.
Etna wines are getting every year more serious.

Bellavista Estate

Bueno Paralelo 31 Proprietor Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2018

Expressive Bordeaux blend from …. Valle de Guadeloupe! Brought it home when we were traveling there. They are making great wines in Baja California region but interestingly very difficult, if not impossible to get in the US. Paralelo 31 was recommended by several. They are part of a larger project. No dedicated tasting room. Lot of upfront dark earthy expressive fruit. A bit tart on the finish. — 7 months ago
