Sicily, Italy
Very classy Perricone. I don’t know what to compare this grape to… it is it’s own original grape. When a producer makes her Perricone in a more classic style (not too much extraction or barrel aging), you get a wine that has beautiful balance of structure, fruit and acid.

Very liquorice. Brambly fruit, subtle, lower lip grip. Great w pasta and proteins, chilies slightly cool on a 90° day.

Barely breaking the top 20 of grape varieties found in Sicily (also the only place Perricone is found to my knowledge), single variety Perricone isn’t exactly available in abundance, which is a shame because it’s a juicy delight. Tart black cherry is the dominant note. Also black currant, licorice, blueberries, violet with a touch of dried herbs / medicinal / savory quality on the back palate. Medium bodied. Well integrated tannins. Ebullient. Organically farmed. Terrier approved.

Sicilian wine that’s nothing but blackberries and controlled tannins. Fun and fruit forward.
