Sicily, ItalyThis finessed, lifted nerello mascalese takes you right to Sicily and the unique volcanic terroir and altitude of Etna DOC. The wine sees 18 days of skin contact before resting in used barriques for six months. Perfumed, wild raspberries, herbal anise and cherry aromas. The medium bodied red is lifted with bright acidity, carrying perfumed violets, cherry, raspberry and bittersweet cocoa across fine grained, gritty tannins. Minerality seems omnipresent through to the lingering violet-scented, grippy finish. Truffles, salty aged cheese and charcuterie will pair now, or cellar for 3-5 years and be rewarded.Tasted: 13 July 2015Tasted by: Prices:
