Classic & Structured — This 2020 “Don Carlo” from Curatolo Arini is crafted in the classic appassimento style — a method where grapes are partially dried under the Sicilian sun before fermentation, concentrating sugars and flavor. The result is a full-bodied red with deep, dark-red to purple hues in the glass. On the nose, expect expressive and layered aromas of violets, dark cherries, and plum, accompanied by vanilla and warm spice from time spent partly in oak barrels. On the palate, the wine is rich and generous — with ripe dark fruit, smooth tannins, and a long, intense finish that rounds out the concentrated fruit with elegance.
