La Fata Galanti Terre Siciliane Nerello Cappuccio
Clear garnet purple. Abundant nose of dried plum and brick. Low acidity and low, finish-assertive tannins on the medium palate which echoes the nose adding red rose and red apple. A nice soft quaffer made from "the other Nerello" that should do well with simpler Mediterranean fare and take out. Go Mascalese when you're having the good stuff. Drink now.

Nov 11th, 2015Great wine. Medium body. Blend of red fruits, floral notes and even a little chocolate? Not too over-the-top.

Oct 7th, 2017More acidic than I would like but well balanced. The nose is wonderful and the lingering on the palate compliments.
