Terre Siciliane

Located in Contrada Nave at 1,070m, this unusual red is from an old 0.5ha ungrafted vineyard and consists of 50% Nerello Mascalese, 20% Grenache, and 30% white grapes (Grecanico, Carricante and Coda Di Volpe). Spontaneous fermentation and 15-day maceration is followed by 10 months in concrete tank. This has a wild charm about it, offering brambly berry scents along with some touches of citrus peel, peach, cream and wild plum. In the mouth it has incredible sapidity with lip smacking freshness, demonstrating a complexity of flavours ranging from wild strawberry and blueberry to sour plum, orange peel and apricot, all wrapped up in a delightful smoky minerality with tight tannins and a lingering stony finish.
