A must-try blend of two indigenous grapes, Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio. Red cherry and plum is backed by delicate almond-paste, licorice and toast notes. Has a solid structure with drying tannins over a long finish, thanks to steel fermentation and 18 months of aging in French oak. A very unique and special wine, and a standard-bearer among Sicilian indigenous varieties. Imported by Vino Bravo.——M.L.(7/1/2006)—— 93
