Opened and poured into a decanter immediately prior to service. The 2017 “Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico” pours a deep, slightly hazy ruby color with a translucent core. Medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of funky strawberries (leaves and all), dark cherries, forest floor, horse blanket (yes, there is a kiss of brettanomyces), some dried herbs, and some light spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes on the nose. The finish is medium+, tart and slightly savory. A lovely wine with character and Sicilian charm. Drinking well now with a short decant and should continue to do so through 2030 with ease. — 6 months ago

Viscous, lots of green notes, bright but somehow dense too. Some creamy note. — 2 years ago

A frothy & effervescent styled Nero D’Avola, vintner son of pedigreed maker. Enjoyable, but the age didn’t seem to deepen its flavours- if anything, at year 7, they’ve stayed the same, which I suppose is testimony to its good construction but in a different way. Wild blackberry, sour plum skin, black currants. — 4 months ago

Superb!!! Dried Figs, Apricot, honey, and flower. A nice level of sweetness and tartness…kind of like baked apples. Great with our cheese on the beach. — 2 years ago
