This red from Sicilia is BOLD. Its a big red with prenty of red fruit, cherry, plum and a chunk of earth thrown in. It reminds me of an over the top Bordeux. That not the criticism but its powerful in most respects, dry but not bone dry with medium acidity its best with food. Red meat, tomato dishes with plenty of flavours to balance the wine.

At Eur20 a bottle I can’t help this that this is overpriced for what it is. At Eur10/12 a bottle it would be good value, interesting wine but not really for me.
