Citrus including the zest. Almonds. Some acidity, a bit of grip, likely from maceration on the skin. Salt.

In splendida forma dopo quasi due anni di affinamento in cantina. Colore dorato tendente all'arancio. Profuma di agrumi e mare. L'affilata acidità, pur essendosi ammorbidita, rimane esuberante, anche se ottimamente integrata, piacevolmente asprigna.

Vino da Tavola Orisi more

8/6/2022 - Lorenzo Babini Likes this wine: 88 points

Colore rosso ciliegia opaco, con profumi fruttati e vegetali di basilico, passata di pomodoro, ciliegie, lamponi e birra framboise. All'assaggio è equilibrato, fresco, immediato e più rotondo di quanto ci si potrebbe aspettare, privo di affondi acidi ma con interessanti sfumature saline. Pur essendo immediato e beverino ha una sua struttura e una bella ricchezza. Ha accompagnato senza cedimenti un'orrizzontale di tartare di manzo da 200 a 1000 gg di frollatura.

Nice golden yellow color

Nose of ripe stone fruits with a fresh green accent from cut hay and herbs

Herbs, peach and salinity make for a really nice and round structure that manages really well to stay interesting throughout the bottle.

Unfined, unfiltered, no SO2. Pale garnet with just a little bit of cloudiness. Pomegranate and fresh red berries on the nose; zingy acidity and some barnyard funk with a tiny bit of fine grained tannin. This really straddles the line between rose and red wine. Long finish. Superbly balanced. Paired with spaghetti al tonno and arugula salad. Would definitely buy again.

Very interesting orange wine from Sicily. A beautiful appealing nose but it lacks a bit of acidity and body in the palate. In any case. With four/five days on the skins is a beautiful example of macerated Catarrato.

Zibibbo (Muscat d'Alexandrie) in purezza grown in the Marsala-zone. Native yeast, a couple of days of skin maceration, then pressed of to cement tanks.

Slightly hazy, yellow color.

Right out of the bottle the nose shows ripe peach, orange peel, tropical fruits and grapey Muscat-aromatics. Some sea breeze, Mediterranean herbs and a slight volatile lift.

Bone dry with medium(+) acidity and a medium(-) body. The skin contact gives a nice texture to the wine. Very good intensity on the palate and the flavors mirrors the nose really well.

Another highly enjoyable and personal wine from Antonino Barraco that is drinking really well right now. Hard to estimate how this will turn out with further aging though.

The cork was quite stained for such a young wine but intact. Aromas of honey and ripe yellow fruit on the nose. Medium bodied, dry, smooth, quite intriguing palate with notes of honey, melon, yellow fruit and some mineral with good acidity. It feels subdued and expressive at the same time if that makes any sense. Really different with character. Excellent stuff.

Slightly hazy lemon color.
The nose shows grilled lemons, tart yellow plum, bruised yellow apples, yellow flowers, chalk dust, flinty reduction and some yeasty notes.

Clocks in at 10.5 abv so fairly light bodied with electric acidity. I really like this salty/sour aspect which is kind of like biting into a perfectly ripe lemon with a splash of sea water on it. Good intensity to the flavors and a long salivating finish.

A great entry level wine and it made me really curious about Nino's other wines.

Orange and cloudy. The colour reminds me that it is important for the kidneys to drink water. Orange peel and sherbet nose. Saline and complex. Oily texture lovely silky mouthfeel.

Lychee pineapple cumin bouquet. Exotic almost Sauternes style (but not sweetness). Still—a lovely papery sedateness that acts as a control on buttery braised leeks.

Delicious white from Etna. Elegant, floral and very tropical both on nose and palate. High acidity and a long finish with passionfruit and mandarin. Maybe a little simple though?
