Sicily, Italy
Delectable - this is actually the Mamertino where the grapes come from near Messina. Big oak barrels used so little oak influence. Will finish off this note with more time. 66 weeks later found more time! The grape Nocera typical of Messina - a prolific producer. Soft tannins and velvety palate like Merlot. Light bodied dry and savoury. Apparently liked by Julius Caesar.

Oct 18th, 2017This is actually 100% Nocera from Planeta which I believe is a rare beast and Delectable did not show it. Lovely fragrant nose however the palate does not deliver being medium to light bodied , savoury and lacking in palate intensity - a recurring theme with many Sicilian reds on this trip. M Tannins with M+ acid.
