Kubìla, IGT Terre Siciliane Rosso, 2023

An oak-free blend. It has an opaque, deep ruby color and a medium-intensity nose with creamy, ripe prune reduction, strawberry jam and lifted/citric aromas with black cherry in the background. The palate is dry and shows a medium-minus acidity, a medium extract, medium-plus fine medium-textured loose tannins, and a medium-plus body with lovely length and intensity of prune reduction, strawberry jam, chokeberry, herbs, black cherry and blood orange fruit, and a medium-plus to long finish. A good deal is happening in the glass here for the price. 2025-2026–IR
