Nerello Mascalese from Sicily, Italy

Winemaker Notes

The aromas of red berries, Morello cherry and black cherry have a freshness balanced by a soft, round mouthfeel that maintains its liveliness. Light herbal notes, firm but subtle tannins and bright, balanced acidity create a persistent, intensely-flavored finish.

James Suckling – 93 Points

Rather light-colored red. A medium-bodied, elegant red with raspberries, dried cranberries, tobacco and orange peel. Some ash, too. Silky, ultra fine tannins. Delightful and refined finish. Drink after 2021.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with hearty meats, pasta in tomato sauce, cheddar cheese, risotto with mushrooms.
