June 17, 2015 - This wine is an incredibly easy drinker, and quite delicious. I'd say not as interesting as Gulfi's Cerasuolo di Vittoria, but still very lovely. This pours very dark. The aromas are pure and dark, showing blackberries, plum skins, graphite powder, and a slight, brighter dried cranberry notion. Palate entry is soft and pure, some very very slight metallic notion is present, but overall it offers some nice lushness of body, light but noticeable tannin, pure darker colored fruits, but absolutely nothing heavy for extracted about it. There's some nice acid present pulling all components together. Finish dials up with more acid, nice pure mineral notes, and this is actually coming across a bit like a Graves Bordeaux. Really lovely, harmonious and long finish... perhaps its best element. The wine stays with you for some time. Not richly complex, but hugely enjoyable. We polished a bottle in under two hours.
