‪pre-winter blues? 💨 "Fugat" about it: the chill of November is NO match for lusty Tagliatelle alla Bolognese and a fine #Sicilian red #wine 🍷 , here the rich, smooth, mocha-and-black-olive-scented '14 #Donnafugata Tancredi (Cab, Nero d'Avola, Syrah blend) at #SantAmbroeus Soho. 🇮🇹 ‬

Wreaks of green (American?) oak. Ripe. Oak dominates any other flavors.

60/30/10 - Cabernet Sauvignon; Nero d’Avola; and Syrah. For lovers of Big Reds. The most full bodied Red we have had in Sicily. Demands Food and Cellaring.

Donnafugata is one of Sicily's top wineries and this is one of their top wines. It's a big blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and the island's
indigenous Nero d'Avola. The blend also contains an interesting grape called Tannat that is originally from the South West French region of Madiran but has taken hold in Uruguay in recent years. The 2011 vintage was awarded Tre Bicchieri from Gambero Rosso.

Tasty, easy pleasing Nero d'Avola. Cherries, sweet tannins, mild acidity.

A delish, compact Sicilian red, always a bit older on release, which I greatly appreciate.
