Tonight we are enjoying some wine from the island of Sicily. A 2012 Puritani Etna Rosso from Azienda Valenti Vini 🍷 The #nerellomascalese grapes from this bottle were planted in 2004. As a literature lover I must share th story behind the bottle's name: 'The father-son team of Giovanni and Alessandro Valenti have embarked upon
the journey to produce the very best
wines from their homeland of Mount Etna
in Sicily. Being avid lovers of literature and
music, the names of their wines reflect
this passion. Enrico IV, Henry IV (Enrico
IV) is an Italian play by Luigi Pirandello;
Puritani – I puritani (The Puritans) is an
opera in three acts by Vincenzo Bellini;
Norma is an opera in two acts by
Vincenzo Bellini. Poesia is Poetry in Italian.' Cheers to Italy! 🇮🇹 — 6 years ago

What a Greco
I left this bottle in my cellar for a few yearsa ns i had no hugh expectations
I find a wine that looks like a cerasuolo rose
The skins were only left in during the fermentation, but the wine kept a lot of colour for a "white". This explains better than anything why they say that Greco is a red variety disguised by a white.
The wine after 7 years in bottle is remarkable.
Fresh, fun and long. — 6 days ago
