Beautiful, powerful wine with a lot going on. Smoky campfire, licorice, blueberry, sage and thyme herb character. No one seems to ever note the significant floral dimension to this wine but I certainly am struck by waves of roses and violets. A hint of brett only enhances the complexity, both on the nose and the finish.

Had this at a 7 course Cento Pasta Pop up that consisted of various dishes consisting of beet , Uni to lamb pastas. The popup was at Simbal a Vietnamese restaurant which as devoid of Italians but this Lone Siciilian was up for the challenge. bold but not overly fruity with just the right amount of acid to keep things interesting throughout the meal. For $20 in the streets, I'd certainly purchase it again!

Tia Nero is one of two wines produced at this estate and this is the only producer that Kermit has in Sicily a very big wine with lots of fresh black earth and some dried meats black licorice spice and mocha notes very big but still has nice freshness on the finish. Finish 45+ excellent +

Earthy, dark, leather, oil, hints of cocoa. On pallet anise, black cherry, and cocoa. Not something I would normally gravitate toward but interesting and liking it more and more.
