Fantastic! Bright acidity with medium mouth feel. Light enough to drink on its own but was exceptional with dinner (paired with Italian -- homemade pasta & chicken parm). The acidity cut through the weight of the food and shined! ✨

Shoutout to Stephen at Grand Cata for the reco - best wine shop in DC 🙏🏼

Absolutely love this. The frappato balances the nero d'avola well. Had in Siracusa.

Solid color, profound cherry, medium length. Only wine with DOCG distinction in Sicily. Pleasantly surprised. P.P.di C.P.

Medium minus ruby. Game, horse, cherry, iron. Medium plus acidity, medium sugar.
