4.5
Made by Gulfi at the 850 meters above the sea level, under the influence of the great volcano. I could not pass by. Elegant and mature. Sour cherry, pomegranate, autumn leaves, underbrush, raisin, strawberry jam, candied fruits. Reminds me of Otago wines. Silky, perfectly balanced, evolving with long finish. Flavours of confiture with earthy hints. I feared that it will disappoint me, and while it didn't change my life, I am really happy to pass this milestone in a form of a beautiful Sicilian Pinò.

Welcome to the continuation of my experience with this wine. First of all I'd like to say, that this wine is so damn tasty, that the bottle is running our so quickly. I love how playful and evolving acidity is. I love the tannins, which are elegant, but still powerful enough to lead this wine through yet another 7 years. Would I buy it again? noises of budget dying in agony Yes!
About
This vine is a challenge: at 850 meters above sea level and under the influence of the great volcano. The ideal vines are selected, including two types of Burgundy Pinot Noir adapted to the thousand-year-old Etnean sapling cultivation method. The volcanic sand element of the soil adds a refreshing energy to the well renowned elegance of Pinot, a result of the minerality of the soil. Pinò is: a foreigne, perfectly adapted to the customs and traditions of the place he put his roots down.
The grapes, harvested in the second week of September, are vinified as a red wine with a short maceration at a controlled temperature. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is racked into small 500-litre barrels where it naturally completes malolactic fermentation and matures on fine lees for at least a year. Aged in the bottle for a few months.
