Ok, I like this, which may be kind of against the last 2 notes...have had some vino from producer in past and liked it generally. Has low price and is fairly tasty just out of the fridge...Nose is lighter but has some dark fruit and a smokey/meaty quality to it. The palate is similar - clear smokey/meaty quality that envelopes the fruit. Is medium weight and has some acid and light coating tannin in addition to the fruit which is on the richer side of black fruit/currents and all things in between. Like this!

Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Capuccio. From the Etna area. Clean, cassis and bellpepper aromas. Palate is fresh, vibrant, pure fruit, hardish tannins, not entirely ripe. G. Tasted at Sicilia en primeur.
