Inconceivable, Terre Siciliane IGT (Italy) 2012

Jan 5, 2016

By Rich Cook

I knew that the Middletons were starting to reach into other areas than their Paso Robles and Washington state holdings, but I had no idea they were reaching across the Atlantic Ocean.  This blend of Sicily’s native Nero d’Avila, Nerello Mascalese and Frappato is a ripe styled wine with red and blue berry fruit, spice and anise, with notes of chocolate and mild pepper joining in.  What fun to spring something like this on friends that may not have heard of any of these varieties.  Fans of Zinfandel will warm right up to it.
