100% Nerello Mascalese from a single vineyard near the village of Castiglione di Sicilia. These are from younger vines, only 40-50 years old! Aged mostly in steel with a short passage in old barrels, this is bright and juicy with red fruits, the palate pleasingly tannic and refreshing with classic mineral notes of Nerello from Etna. This is a great introduction to the grape and superb with a variety of dishes, from tuna and caponata through to white meats and vegetables.

The colour is a brilliant pale straw with green hues. It has bright expressive aromas of perfume, citrus blossom and fresh lime which dominate with a talcy mineral note evident. All the hallmarks of an excellent vintage. It is a crisp acid driven wine, with plenty of fresh lime and other citrus flavours

Attractive blueberry fruit with some choc/mint undertones as well as a little spice and earthiness that add some complexity. The oak is very much in the background and plays no big role.
