This wine is our attempt at essentially trying to emulate a light, cool climate red, with Negroamaro and Nero d’Avola being the perfect varieties for the task. The nose this year has a certain intensity – perfumed olive tapenade richness and savouriness belies the lightness on the palate. Fruit forward up front – maraschino cherry, spiced plum and quince – makes way for second half of lovely earthy, amaro-esque savouriness; cola berry/chinotto characters with a burnt orange undertone. These bitter, herbaceous moments work in tandem with the elevated, juicy fruit, held together by a touch of fuzzy tannin and grippy mouthfeel, to make a very, very drinkable, medium bodied red. - Delinquente
