Valenti 2011 Puritani Rosso (Etna)

Country: Italy / Puritani Rosso
Variety: Red Blend Sicily & Sardinia
Winery: Valenti / Etna

This is ripe and ready, with rather funky aromas that recall meat juice, leather, truffle, scorched earth and fleshy berry. The earthy palate doles out mature sour cherry, licorice, game, raspberry jam and toasted almond. It closes on a note of orange zest.
