Etna, Catania, Sicily, Italy
The 2012 Nerello Cappuccio Laeneo jumps from the glass with sweet red cherries, rose petals and mint. Drink this utterly striking, perfumed Etna red over the next few years. (AG)

I had saved this to share with my winemaker friend, Leah Jorgensen, as I wondered how Cab Franc-esque this would show. Plums & pomegranates, hints of orange skin. Juicy once some air got to it; smooth stepping and delightful to see Nerello Cappuccio in the limelight. Cellar potential or enjoy with good friends for a lasting memory.
