According to the label made from Piedirosso and Guarnaccia with a slight addition of aglianico. From an extremely steep vineyard close to
the sea worked by a cable car. Deep purple colour. Tight colour. Nice earthy nose. Complex. Very mineral with hints of wet stone, slightly
vulcanic and with floral high notes. Full-bodied and concentrated in the mouth. Earth, slight hints of animal fur. We are talking
grenache. But also a very mineral effort and the very nice floral notes made me bring out burgundy-stems which fitted the nose better.
Good acids. Medium tannic end. This is a very nice wine indeed that deserves better recognition. Puts Ischia reds on the winemap. Shows
both interesting character and good structure.

Deep red colour. The nose shows dark berries, ink, some evolvement and hints of leather and earth. Fullbodied wine in the mouth. Quite
fruity, but somewhat faded and diffuse in character compared with the first bottle. Leathery edge. Some ink. Medium acidity and the
alcohol is a bit obvious. Lightly tighness in the finish with some tannins showing. The evolvement have not been that positive in this
bottle. Drink up.
