title: Firriato 2012 Ribeca Perricone (Terre Siciliane)
description: Aromas of French oak, toast, espresso and a whiff of underbrush lead the nose and follow through to the rather lean palate along with licorice, a note of powdered sage and dried black cherry. It lacks the fruit richness needed to stand up to the dominant oak-driven spice and mouth-drying tannins.
variety: Perricone
designation: Ribeca
