Tasting Notes: Organically grown Nerello Mascalese grapes were hand harvested from old bush vines (60 – 100 years old) located on the northern slopes of Mt Etna, Sicily. Altitudes of the vineyards vary from 800-950 metres above sea level, with the soils being mineral rich, decomposed lava. Small quantities of Nerello Cappuccio and Alicante (Grenache) were included in the field blend. This wine has attractive aromas of dark cherries and dried fruit with floral notes. The palate is spicy, with licorice, chocolate, and savory undertones. It has a firm acid backbone which is balanced by a depth of flavor and well-structured tannins. In its youth, these tannins are mouth-filling and austere, with time, they will soften and integrate, becoming ethereal in nature.
