At first, nose is airtight but there’s a faint hint of liquer perfume. Palate is bright and tart, with only a hint of tannin, but a bit simple. After 24 hours, this comes alive. Nose is black currant and cherry cordial with ineffable herbs... papalo(?), mugwort (?!). There’s a sultry earthy quality hiding under the prettiest fruits.
Very atypical for a Nero D’Avola. This is brighter and more lifted. Not over-ripe or over-extracted by any means, but there’s plenty of concentration. Really elegant. — 4 years ago

The nose was intense with ripe plum, crushed blackberry, sweet violets, cinnamon, and dried flowers. On the palate, I found silky textures offset by zesty acidity with amazing depths of plum, cherry, cinnamon, clove and minerals. The finish was long with saturating dark fruits, minerals and fine grained tannin. There’s so much going on in this glass and it’s a wine to enjoy today, as well as to place in the cellar. #collisioni17 — 7 years ago

Formaggio Kitchen 2017 Fall tasting. Bought 3 bottles for 23.99. I think it’s cheaper at Eataly. Finally drank last one in 2019. This was one of my first Nero D’Avola’s. I think this one led to Gulfi.

Starts quite drinkable, mellow but firm tanninic, some what developed stern wine. No oak discernable and a good wine to fenomenal orice. . After breathing a bit burned rubber comes out. Makes The wine drinkable but dissapointing. Leaving to next day and The rubber goes away and The wine is almost perfect again. — a month ago
