2020 Donnafugata Tancredi Dolce and Gabbana Sicily

“The 2020 Dolce & Gabbana Tancredi seduces with a burst of black currants, wild blueberries, oak spice, mentholated herbs and cloves. This is pure and elegant in style with underlying power in reserve. Masses of ripe red and black fruits saturate, leaving a mineral staining as fine-grained tannins penetrate toward the close. The 2020 cleans up beautifully through the finish, structured and classically dry with a tart blackberry crunch and hints of pepper that linger on. The Trancedi is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d'Avola and Tannat that matured in 60% new French oak. Have patience with this understated beauty.” – Eric Guido Review Date: March 2024
