Zisola – Effe Emme 2018 – Terre Siciliane IGT

The nose is racy, elegant, aromatic and offers power, precision as well as pungency, a certain delicacy as well as a fine depth. There are notes of ripe wild currants, violets and slightly blackberry, combined with hints of grey pepper, racy spices, a subtle hint of olive, cinnamon and an imperceptible touch of camphor and mocha. The palate is fruity and reveals elegance, precision, juiciness, minerality, good definition, gourmandize, tension, accuracy, a fine linear side but in its classicism, elegance, energy, a nice freshness, linearity, good structure and a nice acidic backbone. On the palate this wine expresses notes of rather wild ripe red berries, blackberry and more slightly violet combined with delicate touches of dried almond, cardamom, sweet spices, chocolate as well as discrete hints of black olive and an imperceptible hint almost of laurel and dried/rooty earth, a fine spicy side, freshness with some roundness on the palate. Tannins are structured, precise and offer some linearity. Good length. Good persistence.
