Refined stuff with true tannins and great drive, this age-worthy and classically built-up red has multi-layered flavors of dried herbs, cassis, cherries and a whiff of chocolatey oak, framed by precise acidity and most evident minerality. Individual stuff.

Outstanding Sicily wine; made at Regaleali by Laura Orsi for Tasca d'Almerita at their central mountain location; blends nero d'avola (60%) with equal bits of franc and cabernet in a oak matured coil of flavour

2010 blend starts out fresh and bright then turns deeper and more serious. Really nice deep red fruits, an iconic blend. Drink in the next five years to get the full impact.

Cerise forest fruits butter peper. Nice and smooth sweet to the touch, but with nice compensation of acids.
