Berries on the breeze, liquid rocks, and a dusty road. My heart is in Etna.

Great with lamb + beef sausage. This really acts like Nebbiolo with oak. Rustic tannin (wood?). Lighter bodied like burgundy but tarry like the nebb. Cherry type fruit that could almost be either. Makes a great blinder.

Pure, discreet aromatics and RFG flesh in mid-palate with great underlying acidity.
