This is good with spicy pork dishes. A touch on the sweet glou glou side, but just enough savory for balance.

Spicy, curried mussels to pair with. Mouth full of strawberries

A mouthwatering #nerellomascalese, that gem grown on Mt. #Etna, tart cherries, fresh herbs, mountain flowers.

Ashy, moist rock, floral, light berries. Vibrant and youthful. Solid value.

Brooding; scorched earth and tar enlivened with peppery red fruit and piercing acidity.

香りは、鉄、これまでのビンテージに比べると色も濃く、果実感が強い。酸度が高いということでもないが、くどさのない甘さとミネラル感で飲み疲れはない。
チェリーや甘草、ペッパー、ミルク、思ったより、濃度はあれど、優しいワイン。
ちなみにアルコールは13.5%。

2019. Nose is peppery. Not hugely complex but tasty. Strawberry jam, nice acid, some of that black pepper on the finish. Reasonable tannins.
