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!

Great fruit a little strong tannin for the balance but very enjoyable.

Dark and funky with blueberry and licorice aromas and some herb notes.

Ashy, roasted (even scorched) meat. But also very fruity black cherry, herbaceous and minty.

Full bodied, Nero d Avola, bright cherry, vanilla (oak), raspberries on the nose. Strong tannins with pleasant firmness. Bright acidity mixed with full bodied character on the palate. Sun, southern Italian, full bodied - enjoyable.
