Cantina Santadi 2011 Noras (Carignano del Sulcis)

Country: Italy / Sicily & Sardinia
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Cantina Santadi / Noras

This robust red opens with aromas of ripe black-skinned fruit, scorched earth and dark cooking spice. The warm, forward palate offers black cherry marinated in spirits and licorice accompanied by ripe, velvety tannins. Unfortunately, the heat of searing alcohol throws it off balance and dominates the palate.
