Calabretta
Terre Siciliane Rosso Nerello Cappuccio
Italy
I expected more- it’s a bit whiny & tart, so either this was infanticide or it’s a failed bottle

Such a nice wine for the price...good grief. Have had a couple different nerello mascaleses from Calabretta but I think this is the first time trying Capuccio. Might have guessed an exuberantly fruity gamay from the nose. Medium body and tannins and a very nice long finish punctuated with good acid. Delicious.
