When the cold, wet weather hits, a warm red is always in order. This Sicilian wine echoes the hot, dry climate of the Italian island. Dark ruby with modest legginess. The dark cherry on the nose blended with a bit of plum and prune. A hint of spice touched the aroma as well. The taste was very nice, with a pronounced cola flavor that blended beautifully with cherry undertones. The finish was long with persistent acidity. I did get an expected punch of tannins, but pairing this wine with pasta in rich olive and onion marinara turned those tannins into a velvety, lush experience. I look forward to revisiting this wine in a year or two.
