Apr 1st, 2014I don't drink from Sicily often. Bit of an acidic bite. Spicy and the volcanic mineral quality is definitely present. Livened up a meal home in quarantine a few nights ago. Not too stiff, opened up fine after an hour. Red fruit with a nice finish.

Nov 20th, 2020Italy. Red. Sicily.
A blend that is lighter than I am used to for this region. More oaky than fruity, this was good but I prefer nero d’avola. Went well with ziti al forno. Nerello mascalese. 13% alc by vol. Price point was higher than other Sicilian wines ($20) so I wouldn’t get it again. It would be an 8.0 for me otherwise.
