Fabio Ferracane 'Guancia Nera' Rosso 2022 location_Cabinet it’s from two vintages100% Nero d'Avola from the western coast of Sicily, near Marsala. Fabio farms less that 10 hectares of vines, and his Nero d'Avola is just across the road from sunbaked salt fields but the wine is surprisingly fresh. Dark cherry, fresh fig, cranberry, and a crunchy mineral chew that is lifted, complex, and restorative. Jonathan Kemp
