Feudo Arancio Queto Nero d’Avola 2021

From Sicily, this is their organic Nero (wines under their Queto label are organic). These grapes are grown 300 metres above sea level with fermentation on skins for around a week. The wine then spends ten months maturing in stainless steel, with a small percentage spending six months in French oak barriques. Deep maroon in colour, the nose exhibits notes of roast meats, warm earth, soy and coffee beans, with licorice and cloves. Delicious, mouthfilling flavours here. The structure shows us a wine with a supple texture, good acidity and sleek tannins. Impressive stuff. Now and for the next half dozen years. Worth seeking out.
