Top Notes For
Great lift and freshness for a cerasuolo despite showing the Sicilian ripeness. Candied red and purple fruit, prune plum, and a distinct but pleasant hint of burnt caramel on the nose. Judicious sweetness on the finish. Fabulous qpr.

May 22nd, 2021Best wine I have had at this price in a long time. Bright and dark fruit. Virtually no tannin. And either acid or a bit of effervescence that gives it additional character.
