Best red if the trip, a Franchetti from Pascopissciaro, a round bodied nerello mascalese from the cellar at Cave Ox in Solicchiata on the north slope of Etna. Would be even better with a few years — a month ago

Got ahold of three of these allocated babies that get sold out every year by spring.

Volcanic must, spicy berries on the nose.

Wohooo what a mouth punch. Prickly on the tongue. Bracing acidity balanced with an earthy, breezy cherry and berry medley. An herbaceous, mint-adjacent undercurrent as well.

Both stunning, subtle in its way, and stunning in fruit quality and minerality — a month ago

from the slopes of Sicily’s Mt Etna. Fruity, flavorful, balanced, and well structured, with a long lasting finish. Excellent with tonight’s roasted Halibut. — 24 days ago
