Duca di Salaparuta
Vajasindi Làvico Sicilia Nerello Mascalese
The color of the wine is a very light ruby, very elegant looking. On the nose, there is a beautiful bouquet of cherry candy, ripe strawberry and roses. The palate offers more of the same - delicate red fruit flavors are tinged with minerals and the tannic structure is very fine, almost dainty. The finish leaves a lovely impression of the fruity side of this wine, with enough of the savory side present to make one wish for more.

Mar 3rd, 2023A "cousin" of Sangiovese and it shows! Great with pizza. Smooth, red fruit forward with good length. Medium-light body with good brightness and acidity. Very traditional with not a hint of barrel aging.

Apr 14th, 2014Expected more. Medium body, light tannins. Medium finish. Opens with notes of cherry but not overly fruity. No other flavors to notice. No complexity.
