2 bicchieri , Gambero Rosso 2007

Pythos 2005 (Nero d’Avola made in Amphora) MAGNUMS ONLY

Fermented entirely in large Terracotta Amphora, this is modern wine making with 2500 years of history. Very fresh spicy cherry fruit, elegant but robust with hints of earth, spice and mediterranean herbs, on the palate light but intense, reveals many layers of fresh and savoury fruit, great length.

Contrade Labirinto 2002 (Single Vineyard Nero d’avola)

This is their top wine from a very old single vineyard with bush vines. The Terroir really shows well here, with loads of minerality derived from crushed seashells. One of the top wines in Sicily.

2 bicchieri, Gambero Rosso 2007

The palate shows initial robust tannins attack opening to reveal a balanced weight and flavour intenity. The finish is persistent with flavuors of plum, black cherry and blackberry.
