Morello cherries and slate. Medium bodied, juicy, friendly Etna Rosso. Some sweetness, tannins and bitterness on the finish.

Super young and tight at first, but opening up. Bright cherry, crushed stone, hint of licorice. Tannic in the mouth, but with the zingy fruit to carry it. Will be better in 2 years.

a southern wine from Sicilia that thwarts the forecasts. Light dress reminiscent of a pinot noir. medium bodied. Holding, and the point of acidity that awakens the palate, and calls the next glass. Unexpected. beautiful discovery.
