Shop/wine critic/winery review: The grapes are soft pressed and the juice is placed in stainless steel along with the skins for a maceration of 8 to 10 days with daily pumping over of the juice to extract more color and sweet tannins. Dense ruby red with violet reflections. Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice. Harmonious and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background. Excellent with lamb, grilled and barbecued meats, dishes with olives or capers and seasoned cheeses.

Your Review:
Oh wow. I don't know if I am biased because I have been fortunate enough to visit Sicily, but this tastes like Sicily. Spicy, dark, reminiscent of sketchy streets and sandy beaches with the Mt. Etna in the background. I have to attach a photo or two. Very strong color, lots of spice noted. I loved it, as I love Sicily, but not something to take lightly.
