This (DOCG) appellation merits our attention. A superb Sicilian red is made with Nero d’Avola (60%) and Frappato (40%). It’s amazing nose is curiously reminiscent of ripe and evolved Pinot Noir : red berry aromas enhanced by floral animal and spicy hints. In a traditionnal seductive style : medium bodied, velvety texture, great balance and good length. Maybe a bit expensive, but worth every penny! Should be perfect for many holiday feasts : turkey, pasta, veal, pork, cold cuts and cheeses. Will also make a great gift for your favorite oenophile!
