From the only DOCG in Sicily. Fantastic aromas of sweet cranberry, spice, mineral, floral and cured meat (much like homemade capicollo)on the nose, reminiscent of that classic Italian 'cantina' smell (those of you who spent time in nonno/nonna's basement workshops will undoubtedly relate!). On the palate, it is juicy and vibrant and remains true to the olfactory characteristics. However it is showing some rather intense bitterness on the finish which is throwing off a style of wine that is typically right up my alley.
