Grape Varieties: 100% Nerello Mascalese
Nerello Mascalese is a highly regarded, dark-skinned grape variety that grows most commonly on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. Its wines, which have had a rapid upsurge in popularity in the last decade, have a tendency to reflect their surroundings, giving taut, fresh red wines with fruity, herbaceous flavors, excellent minerality, and an earthy nuance. Nerello Mascalese wines often have a perfume reminiscent of those of the noble wines of Barolo and Burgundy.
Tasting Notes: At sight, it has a bright ruby red color with faint purplish hues. The nose is spicy, with delicate herbaceous and red fruit notes. On the palate, it is dry, mineral, and slightly tannic, with a pleasant acidity and good persistence with an aroma of red fruit.
Food Pairing: Pairs well with red meats, wilds fowl, and mature cheese.
