2009 Barraco Pignatello
$35
No one is exactly sure where the Pignatello grape came from.
It's always grown in Sicily, where even though the climate is warm, this red still produces elegant styles. This is a back vintage release from Nino Barraco - on release the wine was fresh and juicy, but this has given way to dry and dusty tannins - the kind of wine that is made to pair with anything rich - like a ragu or similar.
