Nerello Mascalese Vigne Vecchie 2015

Delectable Wine
9.3

The 2015 Nerello Mascalese Vigne Vecchie is simply stunning, erupting from the glass with a burst of crushed black cherries, cloves, blood orange and hints of dusty earth. This is soft-textured, nearly fleshy in feel, with a core of tart red berry fruits offset by sour citrus as rosy inner florals form toward the close. It finishes with staining length and concentration, just lightly structured, leaving a sensation of hard red candies to fade. This is a vibrant vintage of Vigne Vecchie, but it possesses the balance for further evolution. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2024)

Ciro Rosso Classico Superiore 2022

Funky goodness. Some fruit, tons of acidity, some stone fruit, maybe grilled fruits, herbs and spices. Pretty full bodied. — 3 months ago

Rosso Little A & Butterfly 2015

アルコール度数は12.5と今どき珍しい度数。
ザクザクドリンカブル系かと思いきや、果実味は抑えめだが、酸やボディはしっかり目で余韻もリッチ。
2015ということで、開く前は結構酸タッチで固かったんだろうと思う。
開けたては、トマトや赤い果実に茶色いスパイスが少し。
開いてくるとタバコや枯れ葉なんかの熟成した雰囲気もあったが、数日間は楽しめそう。
さすがカラブレッタ。

ちなみにもう少し寝かせたら、さらにエレガントでさらに良くなると思う。

Gaio Gaio Etna Nerello Mascalese 2022

This is good with spicy pork dishes. A touch on the sweet glou glou side, but just enough savory for balance. — 7 months ago

Pedro don Cataldo Vermentimo Angelo Rocha & Figli.
Fabulous with the pakora and the bold, rich pizza with spinach, almond pesto, cheese blend, garlic ricotta, shaved onion, and Asiago. Also lovely as a quaffing wine once we finished the food. This is a great place for cocktails, food, and wine.

Rosso di Contrada Nero d'Avola 2018

A very nice surprise. Really enjoyed this esp for $18. Ripe and rich Nero d’avola. But great balance. Bold tannins. Buy a bunch. Reminds me of Calabretta Cara Cara, which I also love. — 4 years ago
