This blend of Nero d’Avola, Frappato (locally called Nerocapitano), and Grenache is a Sicilian beauty! 💕 🇮🇹

It was lovingly nurtured and cultivated by hand and in a manner paying respect to the land from which it came, with minimal intervention, by husband and wife team Filippo and Nancy Rizzo. 🍇 🍷👌

Lamoresca, Rosso, Sicily, Vintage 2019, ABV 13.5%. @lamorescavini

👁 It’s a medium purple hue.

👃 On the nose it has a medium(+) intensity of youthful, bright, and yet savory aromas that include ripe raspberry, plum, black cherry, rhubarb, violet, clove, nutmeg, peppercorn, licorice, leather, tobacco, wet earth, and game.

👄 On the palate this wine is dry. It has medium acidity, a medium(+) body, medium alcohol, medium tannins, and medium intensity of flavors consistent with the nose. The finish lingers. 👏👏👏

Cheers to this lovely, highly delicious wine 🍷 — 4 years ago

A hot wine. 15% alcohol was noticeable and threw the wine of balance. Tasted a bit over the top. Did really like the earthy, forest floor undertones. — 5 years ago

Stunning grechetto for a spring day! Bone dry with a wonderful floral and fruity aroma and juice fruit tray on the palette. Medium body that cleans so well with balanced acidity! — 6 years ago

During the Renaissance, the property was controlled by the Medici family, after several marriages it’s now controlled by the Contini Bonacossi family since early 20th century and is run by the Bonacossi’s; Filippo, Bernadetta & Beatrice. I met Beatrice at a private tasting. Deep Ruby, very ripe aromas of fruit & spice. Cherry/Raspberry & sweet spice, earthy tones & cacao, complex. Aged developed tannins, lingering, shows deep earthy tones, perfect now, at the end of its aging potential. Very Nice!! — 7 years ago

Lovely local white we had whilst on our honeymoon in Rome. Dry with subtle fruit flavor (I'm no expert on tasting notes, sorry) but this was lovely. — 9 years ago

E’ il uno di nostro favarito da italia. Crisp e acido abbastanza, mezzo corpo. Ha unpo il gusto amaro di finire. L’abbiamo bevuto con sashimi del tonno e fluke. Molto buono. Da sconto in astor wines. — 4 years ago

Very nice white wine from Pigato on the Ligurian coast. Lots of lemon and acid with quite a bit of complexity and some weight. — 6 years ago

A 100% sangiovese grape wine this balanced is rare. A hidden gem in he heart of Tuscany this wine had a hint of tart flavor that mixed well with the beef tartare. I plan to drink the whole bottle before the first meal arrives. — 7 years ago

1 1/2 years of patience, next bottle out of the case. Bold, packing a punch, still super rich with grippy tannins. — 8 years ago

Absolutely delicious. A bit more body & oaky vanilla/caramel on it vs the purse Sangiovese blend. Great slightly chilled on a hot summer evening! — 5 years ago

An Orange Wine. Floral and Fruity. It’s like a halfway between a rich Chardonnay and Sherry. Perfect with Asian food or with full flavoured cheeses — 5 years ago

Tasted flat after it was uncorked; but 30 minutes later it released full fruit -- cherries, blackberry, and perfect tannins. Impressive. — 8 years ago
