Deep purple-red colour. Fruity and flowery nose. Hints of rasberries and fine floral notes. Medium bodied wine in the mouth. At first
this shows tart and acidic. With an hour of air the fruit opens up. Fine young fruit. Hints of rasberries and flowers, not
unlike a burgundian. But with added notes of ash and minerality. Very pure and a bit fragile wine. Fine acidic structure. A little
tannins in the back. Fine food-wine. Drinkable now, but deserves a couple of years in the cellar.
Arnt Egil Nordlien Tasting note: March-07
This is a very pure and fine Frappato that reminds a little bit of a pinot noir grown on sicilian soil. Deep red colour. Lightly
purple. Fine nose with hints of flowers, rasberries, ash and tar. Medium bodied wine in the mouth with good
freshness. Acidic and elegant structure. Fruit has good concentration. Pure and flowery fruit with some hints of ash and minerals.
Lightly tannic end. This drinks beautifully now.
Arnt Egil Nordlien Tasting note: June-07
Red colour. Great nose. This has gained in intensity. It has still the very fine florality and lightly hints of acidic candies. There
is a touch of tobacco that was not there before. Light and elegant wine in the mouth. Floral fruit with a core of cherries and lemon.
Again there is a touch of tobacco. Fine acidity. Refreshing. Light tannins and a touch of anise on the finish. Good length. Great wine
that has developed better than I expected. Very good food-wine.
