Faro Nerello Blend
Solid showing but not as spectacular as other bottles I’ve tried. Oxidized on night two, so likely opened at the right time.

Nov 21st, 2014This wine surprised me. I expected it to taste like Etna Rosso. Instead, it was a very strong wine like an Aglianico or Nero d’Avola, despite the fact that the bottle was from 2007. This wine needed hours of decanting to lose its overpowering flavor. The wine needs to be consumed with steak, not pizza or cheese. I was worried it would be washed out, but this wine could go another 5 years. Nose is balsamic and pepper, and palette begins with intense dark fruit and ends in pepper.

Jan 25th, 2015Tried upon opening and then finished it the next day. So much more appreciation for this wine after watching it evolve over night. Lovely surprise.
