Tenuta di Castellaro Nero Ossidiana – 2011

The wine is made from 60% Corinto, 25% Nero D’Avola, with the balance comprising other equally little-known local grapes and is about as typically and uniquely Italian in its dark, black fruit flavours as it is possible to find! The style is more Burgundian than anything else, which is astonishing given the Islands’ southerly location, but a result of the cooling sea breezes off the Mediterranean and the thin volcanic soil. Definitely worth a try!
