Translucent brick red, leggy. Candy strawberry and maraschino cherry on the nose, with dirty leather and meadow earth. Clear but hefty (13%). You keep that candy flavor on the palate, but it's matched with an assertive combination of acid and wiry tannins across the tongue. I actually like this pretty well: I could nose the glass all day with its combination of saccharine fruit and earthy intrigue. The acid gives it life and alacrity, and the confident dryness gives you something to think on, leaving you wanting another sip. $11?? Come on. Good job Sicily 👊🏼
