Terre Siciliane

Tenerife-born Eduardo makes this top price-to-quality pick from 90% Nerello Mascalese vines and 10% ‘other local varieties’ planted in Contrada Sciaranuova's volcanic ash, sand and stone soils, with an average age of 70 years. Spontaneous fermentation and 15-day maceration is followed by 18 months in concrete tank. Bold red and black cherry, stone and floral aromas seep from the glass, while in the mouth it's very vertical in shape; precise, with high acidity and supporting fine-grained tannins. Incredibly sapid, the brambly fruits and touch of sour plum really complement the mouthwatering, gastronomic character of this wine. Class.
