Terre Siciliane

Sourced from old vines in the contradas of Pietramarina (Verzella), Allegracore (Randazzo), Friera (Linguaglossa), and Sciaranuova and Santo Spirito (Passopisciaro). Spontaneous fermentation in concrete with a 15-day maceration is followed by ageing for 16 months in concrete tanks. The blend is 85% Nerello Mascalese and 15% ‘other local varieties’. A glossy black cherry and herb fragrance introduces a red of impressive intensity, concentration and softness, with succulent dark, brambly fruits underlined by balsamic notes. The fine, dusty tannins provide some structure without being too obtrusive, while the acidity lends plenty of balance, giving this wine a sense of lightness and freshness despite its fruit weight.
