Nerocapitano Sicilia Frappato

This is summer patio juice, chug a lug! Ripe red fruit like strawberry and cranberry. I’d have a little chill on it next time and serve with light appetizers, at 12% it goes quick. Excellent entertaining wine. — a month ago

Vino Bianco Vermentino

9.7

This is one of those "holy fuck, where did gravity just go?!" wines. 100% Vermentinu Corso made from a Belgian of Sicilian descent, who returned to his island to grow vines and olives. More olives than vines. Any of which are particularly damn good, especially the Frappato -called Nerocapitano. But barring that wine, this is one of the most compelling versions, and perhaps clones, of Vermentino I have ever tasted. Not as oxidative than the 2013, also seems to have less skin contact, but I'm pretty sure it's only 48 hours, identical to the prior vintage. But its pristine! And senza chemica. The nose and palate transport me to a magical, far away land that I've never visited, but I cannot wait to go there. — 7 years ago

Mascalisi Nerello Mascalese-Frappato Blend

Slightly reductive nose. Once decanted, opens up into a beautiful sour macerated cherry with a sandy, earthiness and a very slight fresh oiled leather. Palate matches the nose beautifully in the un-adulterated sexiness. Worth every penny! — 6 years ago
