Vigne Vecchie Sicilia Nerello Mascalese

Smokey forest floor with big bright cherry notes. I guess I should be drinking more aged Etna. Incredibly well done

Better than the '04, fa sho. #sicily2006

Etna with the poise of Barolo and the patience of R. López. Grace and power. #volcanicsoils

2006. So tightly wound upon opening. Aerated and let sit for 1+ hour. Earthy, black cherry, leathery, a little smoke, bright, Sticky tannins, a little funk on finish. Wish I had another bottle that I could let sit longer but so yummy we finished it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Fig, butterscotch, banana, cognac & alcohol dominate the nose. This wine is a monster. So intense and vibrant. Like it could not wait to be freed from the bottle. Nice tannins and acid. Flavors of biscuit, rhubarb & ripened light fruit. This wine makes you happy to love wine. Very fortunate to come across this bottle. 2006 vintage

Här var det soltorkad frukt så det räcker och blir över... Kryddig fatarom och typiska tanniner. Rosor och körsbär.

Great price for the vintage - really smooth with a little tannin and oak

This vintage is a traditional blend of nerello mascalese and nerello cappuccio. The winery practices organic farming in black volcanic, stony soil at a high elevation
