Pithos Rosso Vittoria Nero d'Avola Frappato 2020

Popped in poured; no formal notes. The 2020 Pithos Rosso is, to my palate, a lovely Sicilian alternative to Beaujolais. Delicious, refreshingly fruity and just a touch wild. Sufficient structure to provide enjoyment for the near term, but I would just as well drink now. I really enjoy these wines.  — 4 months ago

Pietra Marina Etna Bianco Superiore Carricante 2015

カリカンテ100%ステンレス熟成。
息子の10歳の誕生日ということで開けてみた。

いかにもいい葡萄を感じる濃いめの色。
少し熟成したカリンや黄桃、オイリーなニュアンス、蜜リンゴ、枇杷、ミント、後にはシャープな酸。
熟成感があるので、2本のうち一本はもう少し早めに開けても良かったのかも…
