The 2012 Sicilia Cometa is the result of a cooler vintage. This is also the first vintage made part of the new Sicilia DOC appellation (before 2012, the wine was labeled Sicilia IGT). The mouthfeel is slightly thinner compared to the warm 2013 vintage and it is definitely crisper. This wine offers a clean vein of acidity at the back. Its compact mouthfeel is compensated by sharp and brilliant aromas displayed on the bouquet. Citrusy notes of grapefruit and lemon blossom are followed by tropical fruit and garden greens. You get oregano, laurel leaf and a fragrant touch of basil. As those cool climate aromas taper off, the wine begins to show very elegant tones of honey and crushed mineral.
