Sicily, Italy
Wonderful. Earthy, minerally complex, infused dark berry fruit. Lingering finish.

Dec 30th, 2022We have become really intrigued with wines for Sicily. Who would have thought that such nice rich, complex, well structured and sometimes rather funky wines can come from this island where in my mind the nights would be too warm this far south....but I have never been there. Perhaps the influence of the sea, the unique terroir, slopes and elevations do the magic. This is a Bordeaux blend. Bone dry, powerful rounded tannins, dark tobacco infused cherry, blackberry. Different nuances shown up up in different layers as it evolves from the front to the back of your mouth and ultimately your throat where it lingers. Apparently Sicily grows grapes around the island. These are grown on the west side with a direct view on the Mediterranean Sea. The most minerally complex wines come from the slopes of Mnt Edna, still an active volcano using the Nero d’Avola grape... but that is all together a total different wine.
