Kirrihill Piccoli Lotti Nero d’Avola 2021

Another Italian variety which has found a new home in Australia, and is doing especially well in the warmer regions like McLaren Vale. Tasting wines like this, the first thing that springs to mind is why on earth has it taken so long! Lovely crimson colour. We have notes of spices and herbs on the nose. Leather and cloves, juicy raspberries, warm earth and mushrooms. The flavours move more to mulberries on the palate, with coffee beans, hints of milk chocolate and cocoa powder. There is excellent length, fine balance and a real more-ishness about it. Fresh and delicious, drink over the next five to six years. Love it.
