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

Gaja & Graci

IDDA Etna Rosso Nerello Blend 2017

The Gaja and Graci combo wine from etna! Very fun. Really enjoyed, though at this point it still needs a good bit of air. Very nice nose. Perfect pairing with burgers - just the right mix of fruit, tannins, and acid. — 5 months ago

Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Frappato Nero d'Avola 2017

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. — a year ago

Munjebel Terre Siciliane Bianco Carricante Blend 2017

Not the typical white. Needs at least 15-20 minutes to open and then you get the full set of flavours. — 3 years ago
