Nerello Mascalese M'19 Terre Siciliane IGP

Regular price $36.00 $0.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.

Autochthonous grape variety of Sicily, whose best expression is found in the central eastern part of the island, where there are mountains ideal for the late ripening of these grapes. Demanding and difficult grape variety but able to return great emotion in the glass, with rare elegance and complexity. A generous wine that tastes like currants, black mulberry and pomegranate. Expressive purity on the palate with satisfying freshness in the mouth.

Best served with
first dishes with mushrooms, red meats, semi-aged cheeses. If served around 10° – 12° degrees it also goes well with fish cous cous and shrimp stew.
