Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese IGT Contrada S 2021 - Passopisciaro

A Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese IGT from Passopisciaro, made from vines over 80 years old. The grapes are harvested towards the end of October and ferment for 15 days in steel, followed by malolactic fermentation and 18 months in large oak casks. It is produced in a little over 2,000 bottles a year. In the glass it is deep, compact ruby red, with smoky, fruity, aromatic and balsamic aromas. The palate is round and balanced, with good sapidity, and the finish is slightly spicy. It suits land-based cooking, medium-aged cheeses and mixed grilled meat.
