Classic orange peel nose but much darker and more complex than most Frappatos I have tasted. Really robust not as elegant but still having some finesse and I do like it. Need a research trip to Sicily not sure what food I would match this style of Frappato with.

Almost a year later since I last tasted this. Love the spice and robust flavors. A blend of Frappato and Nero d Avola. It really is nice but hard for me to pair. It is also $28 and I am seeing other values.

Dark rich and tannic. Lovely intense wine but quite approachable. Needs hearty food. Has aging potential. The price is a bit high at $24.

Young and very aromatic with complex fruit, this is a voluptuous wine. The acidity and tannins are all in balance. Very seductive right now it will really benefit from year or two.

The first bottle was corked and the second bottle was okay, interesting with a nice level of spicy flavors, but this paled behind other reds in the tasting. More than adequate, might give it a third chance if I encounter it on a wine list but today it is a wallflower.

Have bought this blend in previous years and this vintage is similar, a great value at $12. Spicy and complex, with ample acidity a weeknight red, that will work with anything. Will improve with time but nice now. It is an blend: 40% Barbera di Monferrato, 25% Barbera d’Asti Cappellatta, 25% Barbera d’Asti, 10% Bonarda (Charbono). Great value

Decent house white but not much beyond that. Bit flacid and showing some age, good body but on the saline side. Pricy at $14. There are far better whites out there.

Really a light red rather than a rose. This orange pink wine cries out for food. think of it as a very light Pinot with good development in terms of food pairing. I always like it but it is too pricy for me at $20.

Very commercial Chardonnay but no soul and for $17 I want personality and intent.

Classic and well executed. Always dependable. Fairly intense without being overpowering, dry and crisp with a great linger.
