“A savory nose features aromas of strawberry, red currants, old leather and white pepper, while the palate is fresher and more fruit-forward with notes of strawberry jam and raspberries, although an earthy undertone and more pepper bring balance and cohesion. Acid crackles above tannins that nip at your heels.”

“It's intense and very spicy, with red and black cherry fruits and peppery red berries. Delicate and light on its feet yet intense in flavour, it will be a good partner for a wide variety of cuisine.”

“Always a pleasure to taste, the 2020 Nerello Cappuccio by Benanti is one of the few varietal bottlings I have encountered of this native variety. It's dark and floral with a whiff of sweet spice that accentuates its black cherry and wild berry fruits. Round and juicy on the palate, it impresses further with depths of ripe red and fruits and sweet herbal tones as a subtly coating of grippy tannins amasses toward the close. The 2020 finishes with medium length yet leaves a big impact, slightly chewy and with a tart raspberry twang. Very nice.”
