Here’s a wine to put you in your happy place. There is some powerful chemistry at work between the grape and its Italian home, and Feudo Arancio delivers it upfront and lively for a great price. Cherry-berry, plum, red liquorice, dried herbs and orange rind aromas. Runs a little deeper on the palate entering into additional blueberry fruit, dusty cocoa and a light but tantalising earthy savouriness. Finishes on a cherry pip, anise note. All up, this is a fun, super tasty nero that shows the huge appeal of the grape at any price point. That’s some impressive versatility!
