Tasca d'Almerita, Guarnaccio, Sicilia, Italy 2021

An utterly delicious bottling of this Sicilian classic from Tenuta Regaleali's historic San Lucio vineyards, old vines were used to replant this variety in 2011. The wine is undeniably balanced; aromatics of smoked cedar plank are backed by baking chocolate and dusty cherries. The palate is lush, with chocolate-covered red berries bringing both bright freshness and broad, mouth-filling richness. Espresso bean and mocha notes, alongside bay leaf and savoury Mediterranean scrub.
