Rosso Little A & Butterfly 2015
アルコール度数は12.5と今どき珍しい度数。
ザクザクドリンカブル系かと思いきや、果実味は抑えめだが、酸やボディはしっかり目で余韻もリッチ。
2015ということで、開く前は結構酸タッチで固かったんだろうと思う。
開けたては、トマトや赤い果実に茶色いスパイスが少し。
開いてくるとタバコや枯れ葉なんかの熟成した雰囲気もあったが、数日間は楽しめそう。
さすがカラブレッタ。
ちなみにもう少し寝かせたら、さらにエレガントでさらに良くなると思う。 — a year ago

Gaio Gaio Etna Nerello Mascalese 2022
This is good with spicy pork dishes. A touch on the sweet glou glou side, but just enough savory for balance. — 2 months ago

Nerello Mascalese Vigne Vecchie 2015
The 2015 Nerello Mascalese Vigne Vecchie is simply stunning, erupting from the glass with a burst of crushed black cherries, cloves, blood orange and hints of dusty earth. This is soft-textured, nearly fleshy in feel, with a core of tart red berry fruits offset by sour citrus as rosy inner florals form toward the close. It finishes with staining length and concentration, just lightly structured, leaving a sensation of hard red candies to fade. This is a vibrant vintage of Vigne Vecchie, but it possesses the balance for further evolution. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2024)

Vigne Vecchie Sicilia Nerello Mascalese 2015
Very unique. Wasn’t sure at first. Almost too herbal and tannic initially. High Al traits too. But w some air, it definitely grew on me. the extreme herbal notes and al mellowed. The tannins didn’t. But the high acidity seemed to make it balanced. Esp w the braised beef pasta. Definitely try again because it’s so unique. It’s basically their basic wine on roids. But not as fruit forward. — 6 months ago

Fabulous with the pakora and the bold, rich pizza with spinach, almond pesto, cheese blend, garlic ricotta, shaved onion, and Asiago. Also lovely as a quaffing wine once we finished the food. This is a great place for cocktails, food, and wine. — a year ago

Excellent. My kind of wine. Well balanced, light body, but also robust and long finish. Has decent tannins and high acidity. Reminds me of Calabretta Sicilian wines. Gaglioppo grape. Paid $20. Buy again. — 18 days ago
