A variety concentrated in the west and north of Sicily, Perricone has lots of personality and needs to be handled carefully. Largely uprooted today in favour of the smoother Nero d'Avola, Perricone has a more robust character. This example is defiantly unpolished, with its dried maquis herbs, green peppercorn, a touch of tomato stalk, dried raspberry and blackberry. There's a hint of oak but it doesn't take over, and the tannins remain pleasingly rugged, hessian-textured and solid. It's an untamed, gnarled wine that seems to remind us of Sicily's gritty past, just as the island moves into a more upmarket future.
