Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
Nerello Mascalese away from Etna, grown in western Sicily, where it keeps the variety's pale colour and nervy acidity but shows riper, sunnier fruit than the volcanic slopes give. Red cherry and wild strawberry over dried herbs, orange peel and a faint smoky, ashy note. Light in colour and medium in body, with fine tannins — a red that takes a slight chill and works far better with food than its weight suggests.
