Much debate about the pronunciation of “Sciacarello” which our somm helpfully settled by informing us that it’s actually “Shaka-rello”, as in Chaka Khan. Now that’s service! Anyway this was totally awesome, drinks like an aged Pinot or Nebbiolo with lots of umami notes of mushroom and teriyaki.

Medium body surprisingly graceful. Fine but fierce tannins.
