Nero d'Avola & Frappato from the amphora-littered southern Etna slope vineyards of COS.
Bright and rich aromas of red cherry and dark plums. Ripe but fresh fruit on the palate with iron and chalky mineral characters. Lovely balance, clean and vibrant, great acidity and a harmonious finish.
Sweet berries, earthiness, a kind of compote scent then ash, old spice cupboard, old leather. Yummo. Flesh and sinew to taste, exotic spice dusted on sour cherry and game meat, a flash of blood orange acidity, green herbs and peppery stuff to finish. So pleasant, so pleasing, so of a place, it feels.
