Buscemi 'Tartaraci' Terre Siciliane IGT, Sicily, Italy 2019 Chateau La Mascaronne The only fruit I couldBaking spice, wild herb and black skinned berry aromas lift out of the glass along with whiffs of eucalyptus. Elegant, lithe and savory, the polished palate delivers ripe Marasca cherry, raspberry compote and star anise set against lithe, fine grained tannins. Bright acidity provides balance while cedar, mint and almost salty mineral notes lend depth. Drink through 2031.
