Region NameSicily

Score: 91Vintage 2019Wine SpectatorBay leaf and black tea aromas lead the way in this harmonious, medium- to full-bodied red, which offers a fine range of crème de cassis, Kalamata olive and fresh, loamy earth notes layered with creamy tannins that impart light grip to the spiced finish.

Score: 89Vintage 2019Vinous MediaThe 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Missoni opens up to show rosy florals and blackberries with hints of wet concrete and camphor. Its velvety textures give way to a pure display of dark mineral-tinged fruits that, along with bright acidity, create a lifted impression. Hints of licorice, currants and powdered sugar linger over a layer of sweet tannins through the long, delicately structured finale. The 2019 is already showing quite well, but a year of cellaring will likely bring forward further depths.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review

Score: 87Vintage 2016James SucklingThis is a rather jammy red with light sultanas and redcurrant confectionary and a touch of dusty wood. Appearing quite sweet on the palate, and the light herbaceous character really doesn’t help. Drink now.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
