Tasting notes
Lots of dried-berry, bark, burnt-orange, light toffee and dry-earth aromas. Light raisins, too. Full-bodied with chewy tannins and a juicy finish. Succulent and juicy. Old vines. From organically grown grapes. Low sulfur. Drink now.

The 2017 Munjebel PA is another luminous and bright Etna red with a lean appearance and an almost fragile state of being. The "PA" stands for Contrada Feudo di Mezzo Porcaria, or the name of the vineyard site where the fruit originates. Like the other wines in this series, the bouquet offers pretty floral notes of wild rose and mountain herb, but there are also raw aromas of aniseed, tar and smoke that come from the all-natural approach to winemaking.
At the time of writing it was unclear if this wine would be labelled as Etna DOC or IGP Terre Siciliane. Contrada Feudo di Mezzo (Porcaria). Cask sample. Mid crimson. Concentrated raspberry fruit with hints of garden herbs. Deep, sweet raspberry fruit with just enough acidity on the nutty, tannic finish. (WS)
