Vintage 2016 - Selected with- and for my student daughter. Pleasurewine from #catarratto and #chardonnay from #Sicily. Clearly minerals in smell, citrus also. Good balance and fenomenal price/quality. Surely a good springwine. Not special but to colour everyday life. 😉 — 7 years ago
I find this wine to be very interesting given that it is an ancestral grape from the island of #Sicily (#Grillo) and a winery that I had never heard of before, but it’s quite high acid and crisper than I imagined. I wouldn’t recommend it as a sipper or first glass but much rather something to pair with something citric or sharp. — 4 years ago
Funky that jumps between ocean bilge, peppermint sanitizer and sarsaparilla, that has been tilled into jungle soils with bat guano. (Touch of Brett) Red apple, smoked plum, rhubarb, granulated black cherry, graphite and burnt stubble. Would love to see this without the flaws. #NerelloMascalese #sicily #sicilianwines #Cirasa #organic #doc #rosso #italianwines #italianred — 6 years ago
Fun wine. Notes of Campari, burnt orange, spice, red fruit, flowers on the nose. The palate was lean but lively. Balanced structure but lacked fruit in mid palate. Fine finish. Good food wine. #frappato #sicily #ctbucklinwine — 7 years ago
Nose of dried flowers, fino sherry and green tea. Notes of cider and autolysis detract just a bit- as they make the wine seem simple (which it isn’t)- but I’m sure the natural wine hive mind will disagree on that point. Still, quite saline, focused and super long. Imagine a few years of aging will bring added weight and richness. #occhipinti #sicily — 6 years ago
Although young, it was a great wine that was medium bodied and easy to drink all day. Grapes grown on Volcano Mt. Etna . #sicily #etnawines — 7 years ago

With a fresh glass from a bottle, what a charming wine. Mix of fresh plum, dark fruit plus dried plum and leather nose. Drinks lighter than it looks, tart cherry, plum, zesty notes and creamy tannins to close. #sicily #nerodiavola — 4 months ago
