2014 Passopisciaro Sicilia Contrada Chiappemacine - Italy, Sicily, Sicilia (12/8/2021)
I have to admit that I lose track of these Passopisciaro bottlings, but they are tasty. I drank several different ones shortly after the 2014s were released, but decided to put a few aside. I am glad I did. It’s still high octane, but there’s much more complexity than several years ago. Floral, red fruit, licorice carried on a still tannic spine that portends further development, though I am leery of the 15% alcohol taking over not so long from now. There’s bright acidity that works very well with a pizza, so why not open and enjoy!
