Made from Nero D’Avola, the juice for this is bled out of the tank after four hours, which allows the pretty colour to develop. The remaining juice is used for the red wine in the range. Dry, with impressive intensity of fruit that reminded me of floral, rose-like characters. The palate has gentle grip and a savoury feel, while the saline tang adds interest and cries out for some food to accompany it. The saline tang may be due, in part to the fact that this coastal vineyard has a very maritime climate and ranges from only 6 – 60 metres above sea level.
90 pts - Ken Gargett (Wine Pilot)Sicilian rosé, elegantly packaged, and under screwcap – ideal for these wines. This is a lovely pale burnished orange colour and fragrant with florals, especially rose petals, and raspberries plus fresh acidity. There is good intensity here and it is maintained throughout the journey before an appealing hint of bitter almond on a clean finish although the terrific nose is probably the highlight. Drink over the next year or two.
