Firriato 2008 Ribeca Perricone (Sicilia)

Few Sicilian producers export 100% Perricone wines to the U.S. Among those who do, Firriato’s Ribeca is among the best. This is a bold, concentrated and modern wine, with opulent chocolate and dark berry aromas framed by oak spice and vanilla. Keep it in your cellar for a few more years.
