2010 - Earthy with firm acidity, definitely a food wine. @VdaWinery #SicilianWines

Smelled fantastic (2009)! Fresh cherries and raspberries on dry riverbed. Initially showed tight and green with a touch of unpleasant funk. This blew off, and the flavors balanced showing minerality boosting ripe bing cherries, black plum skin, and dirt clods. Great food wine, affordable and versatile. Very Southern Italy In its profile.

Consistent from the 2013 vintage, maybe little less color and slightly baked aromas similar to the Douro Reds.

Sep 5th, 2018A real wine with real aromas, acidities, tannins, minerality and rich fruit. Not a natural wine but has a transparency and purity without the funkiness. Super clean and no hint of wood. Has both the presence and the substance. Excellent. 2013 vintage

Deep red color, scent of ripe blackberry and raspberry with notes of spices like liquorice and cacao; a note of wild and leather is the characteristic of its “terroir”
Taste: full and velvet palate, warm; very clean
Combination: Elaborated meat dishes, roast meats, fresh and mature cheese, game dishes and pâté. Selected for “Ragusano D.O.P.
