This wine has an interesting history. Please read the pro ratings. It was rather pricey and in my opinion - not great value for money. Yes, highly drinkable. Went well with faro, asparagus parm risotto and some filet tips. Everyone enjoyed. Somewhat fruit forward, somewhat juicy, deep red color - fine and everyone enjoyed it. However, you can definitely find something better at the price point that would satisfy and pair with food equally well if not better. Don’t mean to knock it - since I have 2 bottles remaining - but meh! — 3 years ago

Deep dark berry port on the nose, brown tint implying age, pretty delicious and elegant, but maybe a bit too much alcohol. — 7 years ago

Baby Orange wine with an intriguing story! Apricots, white flowers, chamomile & appropriately a bit of orange rind! went perfectly with local grouper, faro, and roasted cauliflower! — 8 years ago

Wow, after being disappointed by a poor showing from the 2009 bottle earlier this year, this 2011 is a stunner - immediate floral notes with earthy undertones on the nose give way to a dark cherry and subtle leather palette with a great integration between acid and some lingering tannins. What a deal for about 1/3 the price of the Palari Faro - which I️ cannot wait to try for this vintage. #QPR #Palari — 9 years ago

Sicilian red - really impressive, sporting some bottle age, this poured very dark ruby/inky - minor bricking at edge with a Sangiovese-esque nose (believe this is blend) of ripe to sour cherry w/sweet sweet Italian soil. Brambly & boisterous - loved the nose… lithe on palate, med(-) body w/decent acidity, tart cherry & earth, pepper, branches & stems. Quite a treat @$18 — 4 years ago

This wine does a little Pinot Noir act, medium ruby in the glass with earthy red fruit on the nose. The Sicilian grapes were grown on the slopes of Mt. Etna, and owner Michele Faro spoke during a Zoom gathering about his love of the volcanic soil. The nose also offers notes of coffee, sage and eucalyptus. The palate definitely shows the volcanic origin along with spice and pepper, plus a firm tannic structure. The sip finishes clean and savory. Very tasty. — 5 years ago

Founded in 1956 by the sole and present owners, Michele and Giuseppina Chiarlo, son of over seven generations of admired wine growers. Enticing berry and floral aromas with a waft of earthy notes. On the palate cherry and blackberry with sweet spice and citrus zest. Fine soft tannins, lively acidity, medium finish ending with earthy mineral. Very nice. Tasting Sample. — 8 years ago

Still catching up with my Sicilian notes and this was a cracking Wine - one of the highlights for me. A red blend of Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappucio (60%) plus Nocero and Nero d’Avola. Funky savoury brilliant aromas. The 2 Nerellos much like Pinot Noir. Light to medium bodied, sappy, dry and delicious. Could be a Grand Or Premier Cru Burgundy 160 Hectares DOC; 7 producers in total. Buy some! — 9 years ago

Very refreshing siting by the pool at Capo Faro winery. Citrus, yeasty, and a candied aroma….perhaps butterscotch. Crisp on the palette with a nice acidity. — 4 years ago

Still has my vote for top quality for price Willamette Valley Pinot. Incredible texture and tension. Smells like old growth forest just the way I like my WV Pinots to (with a side of potpourri). Red fruit: cherry, plum, raspberry...maybe a little riper than in vintages past but not too ripe; exotic spices: cinnamon and a licorice/star anise note. Paired perfectly with umami-heavy meal: faro, shiitake mushroom and miso cod. Even better on the second night. — 6 years ago

Founded in 1956 by Michele and Giuseppina Chiarlo. Son of over 7 generations of wine growers, and a leading figure in Piedmont viticultural industry. Aromas of fresh sweet dark berry fruits & minty herb notes. Cherry, plum and minty flavors, some licorice, cola and cacao, well balanced with defined tannins. Complex lingering finish ending with nice earthy notes. Still has years to run. — 9 years ago
