Redfruits, rich and ripe, but lovely minerality and earthy notes that add complexity, very nice Sicilian rouge!! — 9 months ago

Really nice representation of Sicilian wine. Reminiscent of Shiraz with fruity clean notes of raspberry and blackberry and low acidity. — 4 years ago

The ancient wine requested by Ceasar at his feasts, albiet not oxidized as his surely was. Other than the interesting history this wine has a very fragrant perfumed nose. On the palette bold ripe fruit balanced with complex notes such as coffee leather and cigar box. It has medium plus tannins and is a bit of a dry finish. Almost could be drank without food but not quite- it benefits from some food. @B&B Ortigia — 5 years ago

With a pretty, pale pink color and sweetly scented nose, the 2021 Rosa Dolce & Gabbana makes a lovely first impression. Ripe melon, Asian pear, mint and nuances of white smoke create an inviting bouquet. It’s round and elegant in feel, engulfing the palate in mineral-tinged orchard fruits and hints of chamomile. A salty flourish emerges through the finale, as notes of sour citrus and inner wet stone slowly fade. This is a total pleasure to taste. The Rosa Dolce & Gabbana is a blend of Nerello Mascalese and Nocera. (Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2022) — 3 years ago

Here’s a gem from Sicily, Italy.
Grape Varieties: Predominantly Nerello Mascalese (60%), Nerello Cappuccio and Nocera (35%). Délicieux - epic wild berry, spice and leather characters — 6 years ago

“Grande Vino” according to the Slow Wine guys. I don’t know if I’d go that far, but this definitely tastes like artisanal wine. Bravo, Planeta. — 3 years ago
