Inviting nose with raspberries and dried cranberries + a pinch of herbs & spice and an earthy undertone.
On the palate this is quite light & soft yet with fine & persistent tannins and juicy acidity. Very Pinot like in colour, nose & body - with an extra pinch of Mediterranean spice.
This is a nice one and a welcome come-back of Donnafugata to the Sicilian roots - much better than their Cerasuolo di Vittoria.
