Strikingly big and bold, this wine is a massive wad of flavor, tannin and refreshment that needs a substantial & meaty meal as an accompaniment. Love the roasted blackberry flavors saturated with steeped Pu-erh tea.

Eucalyptus for days! Rich, leathery notes and a solid acid spice. Can't wait to try this in 5 years.

Noble Nero d'Avola blend, balsamic and tobacco, barriqued but when paired with Braciole al sugo di vino reveals its imminent nobility #donnafugata #sicily wine tasting dinner
