Frapatto & Nero d'Avola. Old vines ages 4 years in Botte and one year in bottle. Lip smacking & delicious. May not make old bones but drink now and smile!

Silky smooth, carries its ample flesh with tremendous elegance, lots of red fruits and spice. The warmth of the sun is evident in this wine, but it is masterfully directed in a graceful Aikido or Judo-like style that directs that sunny ripeness in way that comes off as attractive and charming instead of ripe or heavy, very inspirational and instructive for a fellow sunny climate winemaker.
