Great wine. From a small volcanic island off Sicily. Dark color. Smoky charcoal embers, dark minerals, and winey macerated black cherry fruit. Mouthfilling and rich, but buoyed up by an incredible piercing mineral streak. Looong finish with excellent acidity. Blind I would have said old school Barolo. Not even close!

Blackberry, black plum, black pepper and savory black cherry are off-set by a gorgeous forest floor aroma. Medium bodied, juicy and rustic, this wine is extremely versatile. It is a fantastic introduction to Sicilian wines; interesting to people who know a bit about wine but also captivating to those who aren't sure what they like. Crowd-pleasing, exotic and sensual.
