Light ruby (lighter than many PN) - and very clear. Medium intense nose of raspberries, cranberries, a little watermelon, a faint rose, spice, smoke, volcanic ash and earthy notes.
Palate similar. More mature fruit now, than when tried two years ago. More settled. Both the 2 & 4 year old have their charm.
A cool pairing would be watermelon & feta salad
100% Nerello Mascalese grapes from 60+ years old vines. Unfiltered, which is a surprise with the first glasses poured - but in the final glass comes an Etna mud slide.

Light towards med body, med acidity, light tannins.

PnP Parfymert nese med sopp og lett syntetiske toner mot mandel. Frisk frukt med rips. Litt vaskemiddel. Slipper fine noter etter lang tid i glasset. Fast og frisk avslutning med litt barnåler. Sicilia luft. 1 dag I flaske: Betydelig bedre balanse i dag. Fin krydret frukt med fast og frisk avslutning.

Really delicious with a little chill to counter the Cornelissen VA.

Let’s be clear - this Franky cuvée (IGT Terre Siciliane v19, 100 % NM, 14% ABV) exudes Sicily with sincere youth, modernity & innovation in a fresh, pure, mineral-driven & tannic-dry fashion. Light & bright ruby, fully translucent in appearance. Refined nose w bright cherries, smoke, warm spice, raspberries to the fore, herbs & freshly cut roses following. Palate is remarkably harmonious today, spiralling acidic structure, tannic-dry as of mid-palate, elegant & energetic, closing on a mineral, dry & spicy note.
