Finally a cool enough summer afternoon to pop some red. I’ve been eyeing up this Tenuta for a minute now. I have about 90 bottles of miscellaneous wines in my cellar and I just simply cannot stop opening Sicilian wines.
Decanted for about an hour. Vibrant rosy color
Nose is delicate. Strawberries and ripe fruit.
It tastes so fresh. Strawberries and black raspberries. Sour cherry and plum. Great acid and tannins. I’m probably 3 or 5 years too early here but i just couldn’t help myself. Green pepper on the finish. A little heavy on the front of the palate and lacking in the mid but that’s probably due to my own impatience. I have a 2018 that I’m excited to open and think I will soon. I also have the 2023 Prephyllaxora that I will wait for a special occasion in the future years.
I just can’t get enough of these Etna reds.
92 points but could see 94 with some time
