Sicilian red - really impressive, sporting some bottle age, this poured very dark ruby/inky - minor bricking at edge with a Sangiovese-esque nose (believe this is blend) of ripe to sour cherry w/sweet sweet Italian soil. Brambly & boisterous - loved the nose… lithe on palate, med(-) body w/decent acidity, tart cherry & earth, pepper, branches & stems. Quite a treat @$18
