Feudo Arancio Riserva 2022

Share

Made from the Nero d’Avola grape, the fruit for this impressive Sicilian wine is sourced from different regions such as Ragusa and Agrigento. The team usually put around 30% of the fruit through stainless steel, while the remainder spends a little less than a year in French oak barrels for maturation. Blood red/dark crimson, aromas of wild raspberries, black fruits, coffee grinds, mulberries, bay leaves bacon fat, and dried herbs all weave together on the nose. There is underlying power here, and very good length, through to slightly gritty tannins. The wine has good focus throughout and a lingering finish and should drink impressively over the next decade.

Ken was born and bred in Brisbane, Queensland. He had a non-trendy, perfectly happy childhood, in a family convinced alcohol meant instant condemnation to Hades. But a break fishing on the Great Barrier Reef, and some good wine, started a serious obsession that eventually took over. It did not stop Ken being chastised later for drinking Pol champagne, disgusted he’d drink anything made by a Cambodian dictator. Now, Ken mostly writes on wine, champagne and spirits for various newspapers, magazines and books, but is perhaps best known for his work in The Courier Mail. He also has a little sideline writing on cigars, fishing, travel and food. When not writing, fly-fishing for trout in NZ or bonefish on the flats of Cuba, travelling or smoking cigars, he is no doubt following a variety of sporting teams – the occasionally glorious Queensland Reds rugby, the dysfunctional Washington Redskins, the dodgy Arsenal and especially revels in the world restored to its proper axis with the return of the Ashes to their rightful home.
