At first, nose is airtight but there’s a faint hint of liquer perfume. Palate is bright and tart, with only a hint of tannin, but a bit simple. After 24 hours, this comes alive. Nose is black currant and cherry cordial with ineffable herbs... papalo(?), mugwort (?!). There’s a sultry earthy quality hiding under the prettiest fruits.
Very atypical for a Nero D’Avola. This is brighter and more lifted. Not over-ripe or over-extracted by any means, but there’s plenty of concentration. Really elegant. — 4 years ago

Formaggio Kitchen 2017 Fall tasting. Bought 3 bottles for 23.99. I think it’s cheaper at Eataly. Finally drank last one in 2019. This was one of my first Nero D’Avola’s. I think this one led to Gulfi.

Starts quite drinkable, mellow but firm tanninic, some what developed stern wine. No oak discernable and a good wine to fenomenal orice. . After breathing a bit burned rubber comes out. Makes The wine drinkable but dissapointing. Leaving to next day and The rubber goes away and The wine is almost perfect again. — a month ago
