Velenosi 2008 Lacrima di Morro

88 Points

Unique aromas of spice (cinnamon, allspice), black cherry and an intense floral (roses) perfume, bordering on volatile acidity, make this a personal choice for drinkers. Some will love it; some will not. Is it the odd varietal — the local lacrima — or is it the oak regime? Either way, this is a curious wine, appropriate for enjoyment as a “drink by itself” vino...unless you can think of a dish that goes with cinnamon-flavoured roses.
