The 2020 Bonavita Faro is a profound and soulful red from the windswept hills overlooking the Strait of Messina. A traditional blend of Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, and Nocera, it is crafted by Giovanni Scarfone using organic and artisanal methods. The nose is evocative and "wild," offering aromas of sour cherries and raspberries layered with complex notes of flint, leather, and Mediterranean macchia. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and high-toned, balancing a core of dark fruit with vibrant acidity and firm, mineral-driven tannins. The finish is long and savory, marked by a distinct saline snap—a hallmark of the maritime influence of the Tyrrhenian and Ionian seas meeting nearby.
