I have attended quite a few wine tastings in the last few months, but it was this wine that really made an impression. Light and bright in colour, with sweet spice and hawthorn aromas and mineral notes from the active stratovolcano Mount Etna.
Mid-to-full-bodied, elegant and fine, it has a clean, fresh palate and firm tannin structure. The acidity is vibrant but not too sharp, with some concentration and fairly long finish.
As a red wine at an affordable price of 100 RMB (11 GBP), this is a bottle that shows some regional and varietal typicity and depth, and ca be enjoyed by both wine geeks and beginners.
