Tasting Notes

This is the rarest of Vito’s wines, sourced from 40 sarme of Perricone, hence the name Quarantasarme. Sarme is an ancient system of measurement in Sicily, and 40 sarme equates to roughly 80 hectares, situated between Alcamo and Campo Reale. This organic Perricone spent one year in large oak barrels. Ripe and full of the Mediterranean sunshine, this fuller red pours an opaque hue, dense with baked blackberry and plums, dark earth, wild herbs, fruitcake, and pine. Tannins are chewy and wild, housing a juicy palate. Partner this full bodied red with equally dense proteins like grilled lamb.


Critical Praise

“Quarantasarme, as in “forty-alarm,” or in viticultural terms a rare Vito Laria perricone sourced from 40 “sarme,” aka an agricultural unit of measurement in Sicily equal to 80 acres. These vines grow between Alcamo and Camporeale and in perricone produce some of Sicily’s highest red acidities. A striking perricone, focused and layered, sweetly volatile and only seeing 12 months in wood. Chewy like few others, perhaps an acquired taste for some, yet screaming of personality and reeking of the land. Wild and woolly, captivating, even extreme. Drink 2024-2029. Tasted November 2022.” - 92 points, Michael Godel, WineAlign.com
