Light body and bright with red berries nose, slightly tangy with some savory herbaceous note. Hint of smokiness. Goes down so easily.

This is not the Vermentino but the "Cuvée Faustian." Requested the correction. On the nose, warm mid and dark red fruit, nice spice, pepper, herbs, black cherry licorice, dark soils, light minerals and dark fresh florals. Bright dark cherries, cherries, baked strawberries, dry cranberries, touch of lean blackberries, herbs, light spice & peppers, texture is lean, fruits are ripe & bright, fresh high acid with lean, fresh, ripe fruit finish. Very easy to drink young and a versatile pairing wine. 70% Sciacarello & 30% Nielluccio. Photos from the vineyard in Corsica.

After a short decant came the complex nose and soft tannins.

Refreshing, yet textured. Beautifully aromatic Vermentino.

Medium- ruby color. Medium aromatic intensity with aromas of strawberry, raspberry, red plum, licorice and wet stone. Intense fruitiness on the palate. Medium+ body, high acidity, medium tannins, not too grippy. Excellent quality, suitable for further aging.

It would be better to sit another 2-5yrs, but the first glass is drinking well. Peppery, w/ a hint of berries. Lots of tannins up front. Subtle, but full bodied.

Pretty wine. Light, lifted, bright fruit and violets. Serve it chilled and perhaps with a simple margarita pizza. Heaven.
