Thick and dense with pulpy bright fruit and generous tones of blueberry, raspberry, plum and volcanic mineral. Fatagione is a succulent and modern expression of Nerello Mascalese (with a small percentage of Nero d’Avola for extra thickness). The wine shows concentrated red fruit flavors with spicy nuances and chewy tannins. ——M.L.(2/1/2009)—— 89

Forward all the way, with raspberry, cherry and smoke aromas. The palate is round and broad, with virtually no edges. Thus it finishes heavy and meaty, without much subtlety. It’s rugged, acidic, tannic and tasty. Patience is required. Imported by Vias Imports. ——M.S.(7/1/2005)—— 87
