Type: Rosé
Appellation: Sicilia
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Grapes: Nerello Mascalese
Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, dry
Di Giovanna farm organically in the hills of the Sicani mountains in western Sicily, at altitudes between four and eight hundred metres — considerably higher and cooler than the island's reputation suggests, which is the key to the freshness in their wines. Sicilian rosato is usually built on Nerello Mascalese or Nero d'Avola, given brief skin contact, and at altitude it keeps a taut acid line alongside the ripe fruit. Expect strawberry and red cherry with citrus peel, a floral lift and a savoury, faintly saline finish, dry and more structured than the pale Provençal style. Good with grilled fish, but substantial enough for lighter meat and the tomato-and-aubergine end of Sicilian cooking.
Serving: Serve at 8–10 °C.
