What I really like in Sicilian wines: bright red fruit over an earthy core, light, easy to quaff, but with some tannic grip on the finish. Really good after an hour or so decant.

Bramble, wet stone, dark berries, musk. Smooth tannins and kicking acidity. Gonna go great with our menu.

2013 barrel tasting. Intense red meat flavours, blood, rose, red fruits. Nice tannic balance and great acidity..

Another Winner from Arianna Occhipinti. Hints of violet and pine on the nose. Candied dark fruits on the pallet. Hint of smoke. Light bodied and silky tannins. Beautiful finish. Excellent wine.

Great nose. A touch of acidity with fruit to spare. Italy is shining through

Anise, tobacco, damp earth, herbs, cherry. Great acid. Dry and grippy. Better on day 2
