Hello, fellow wine lovers. This week, we are tasting a new Italian wine called 7 Sicilians Rosso Terre Siciliane. I was intrigued by the name 7 Sicilians when I spotted the bottle. Seems like an unusual name for a bottle of wine. As I read about it, I found that this wine gets its name because of its composition, as it’s made of seven grape varietals, which I’ve listed above. According to the merchant, this wine is macerated and aged in new oak barrels for approximately four months.

Without further ado, let's get into the tasting notes!
Tasting Notes:
Deep ruby red hue
Balanced, medium/full-bodied wine
On the drier side, with soft/mild tannins
Fruity, jammy nose with hints of cherry and black plum
Easily drinkable
Verdict:
If you are looking for a bottle of wine to enjoy while you are cooking or perhaps while you are winding down for the evening, this would be a fantastic bottle to enjoy. Not only is it inexpensive, but it’s mild enough to enjoy with or without food. I think of it as a wonderful way to ease into the evening. This one is another Trader Joe’s exclusive, so look for it next time you are in the store!
Until Next Time!
