Sikelè Rosso 2015 Terre Siciliane

“Play That Funky Music”

“Uptown Funk”

“Funkytown”

“Renegades of Funk”

“Da Funk”

I could keep listing all the songs that have FUNK in their title. That’s what a lot of people equate wines that are made via spontaneous fermentation (indigenous yeasts) aka “funky.” Cantina Marilina has a very natural approach to winemaking - protect the ecosystem, use of natural fermentation and preserve the fruit and freshness. Oh what a wine they have created.

Sikelè Rosso 2015 Terre Siciliane is 100% Nero d’Avola

Pale ruby color with intense aromas and flavors of black cherry, plum, tobacco, earthy funk, balsamic, tomato leaf, licorice, oregano and chiles. Lively acid with soft sandy tannins and ends on a savory red fruit note

It was delicious with prosciutto and black olive pizza but would also be amazing with a bacon BBQ burger or portobello and lentil stew with sage Or a cioppino (tomato based seafood & fish stew)
