April 8, 2024 - Nother delicious, terroir driven but elegant Frappato. One of Sicily's best reds!

April 8, 2024 - Prior bottle was just over a month ago, but the occasion called for it, so I was happy to open another bottle and was well rewarded. Red cherry, earth and spices on the nose, with some black cherry aromas in the background. Again took about two hours or so to fully open up, demonstrating again this wine has a good number of years ahead of it. Close to medium bodied with an essentially identical fruit profile of red cherry, darker red cherry, red raspberry and then tart red cherry and tart strawberry on the backside. These fruit notes show a mix of roundness and brightness that evolves over time and adds to the complexity. Balance continues to be one of this wine's significant strengths with the tart notes, tannins and acidity bridging from the mid-body fruit to the minerals on the finish. Quite distinctive with an obvious volcanic origin. Next bottle for me will probably be July 2024 and will probably pick up a few more bottles.

April 8, 2024 - Seni opaque ruby red. Nose of cherries marinated in alcohol, some barnyard. The taste is fresh with lots of acidity. Easy going and tasty but not much complexity either.
