Contrada S Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese
Perfect after 9 years in bottle. Burgundian dark cherry notes, muted tannins, smooth with no mustiness. I personally still prefer a touch of added cappuccio like my fave Terre Nere.

Jan 22nd, 2022Powerful, intense and demanding, this still very youthful and primal version, has loads in reserve and will shine brightly from 2018 and many years beyond.

1 person found it helpfulMar 29th, 2015Super tight and not giving much on day 1, this opened up beautifully on day 2. Deep Bing cherry color, with sour cherry notes and nice depth. Lovely, but you'll have to wait for it...

Aug 21st, 2016Flavors are on point, but holy COW does this need time. Tannins are very aggressively grippy, which is encouraging for longevity, but makes for a challenging drink right now.

Oct 30th, 2014Still a little tight. This wine had a wonderful blend of volcanic funk and berries on a breeze. The tannins were firm but integrated. Finish lingered for minutes. I scooped up the only bottle I’ve seen in town but will keep my 👀 on the lookout for more.
