This has more depth of colour and aroma than you usually find with Nerello Mascalese. Light oak gives notes of spice and leather on the nose and palate, alongside black and red cherry fruit. From organic grapes, this is a well made and very drinkable wine, with depth and freshness - great with pasta ragu.
