Benanti
Il Monovitigno Sicilia Nerello Cappuccio
A gorgeous mid weight wine that is almost Barolo like in appearance. Cassis and leather hit the palate and unfold graciously through the long finish. Now with thirteen years behind it, this wine has developed gorgeous tertiary notes that add sophistication.

Mar 21st, 20156000 bottles. 100% Nerello Cappuccio. Darker wine this far. Italian Plum notes, subtle herbal tones. Not an Etna DOC, because it's not a blend. Bright acid, mineral, dry, clean and hard but light tannins.
