Wow, a true Sicilian beauty. Corinto Nero! New fave variety; this is like a crazy mashup of the best m of three of my favorite red grapes. It has the complex red berry-fruited tension of Spanish Garnacha, the bloody minerality of Cornas Syrah, and the plain elegance of 1er cru Burgindy. Long juicy finish, generous, fantastic value.

Oct 23rd, 2020Well, wow. I made a harissa chickpea stew tonight, and it had some heat. This wine was a **phenomenal** pairing. On the nose: black raspberry, stewed tomato, citrus flowers...On the palate: good acidity, stewed tomato, plum, good density, and the softest tannin on the finish. Perfect pairing.
