WTN: Sicilian stink

Bonavita, Faro, 2008
Up the island from Etna toward the channel is the tiny appellation of Faro. The grape mix here is Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, and Nocera. This bottle is mildly corked, but difficult to discern from the maker's style which tends toward slightly dirty. If not off, this would have been a decent bottle, much more austere in style than the 2007 which was lusty and juicilly ripe. Pity the poor cork. And the pocketbook. Unrated.
