Calabretta
Sicilia Pinot Nero
Sicily, Italy
A deep core of dark fruit takes center stage on this bottle - blueberry and blackberry and something like those but more wild and atypical, and fresh fruit but even some candies fruit notes. Herbaceous notes like bay leaf, oregano and tarragon and also exotic woods like sandalwood. Slight undercurrent of exotic spices m. Less Smokey and meaty notes than the last bottle I opened. This feels much more transparent, primary and...Burgundian?
Still with gray acidity and big drying tannins, but opening up. Excited to see it in a few years!

Was in the mood for a Pinot Noir, and the waiter recommended this Pinot Nero. It had the complexity of a Pinot Noir but was more fruit forward (cherry, strawberry) with some spice.
