Fantastic aromatic profile full of smoke, ash and earth, and a palate adding bright olive and red fruited flavours to the mix of smoky/tarry flavours with bright acids and grainy tannins underneath. Very enjoyable wine, and a style/region I would love to explore more.
Oliver McCrum wrote:Yes, Salil, but probably not my actual importation if you're in CT. Hope you enjoy it; oddly the two Sibilla wines remind me of Loire wines, not at all what one would expect. (They're own-rooted, and the soil is volcanic.)
Salil wrote:I just opened a bottle of the 2008 La Sibilla Piedirosso Campi Flegrei tonight with dinner. Really fantastic wine; full of bright cherry and raspberry fruit with smoky and meaty accents in a very, very drinkable package - it's only 12.5% alcohol, very light on its feet with bright acids and very gentle, silky tannins. Freaking delicious - and perhaps the best wine I've had under $15.

The Campi Flegrei .... is so sandy that the whole appellation is on its own roots, which I've never heard of before.

Did you think that this was ready to go or still had room to improve with age? I have a single bottle of 1999 that I have been looking at for some time but as its the only one I have and I have not seen any of this since I bought it I have been reluctant to pull the cork.
