Variety: Nerello Mascalese Sicily & Sardinia
Winery: Passopisciaro / Terre Siciliane
Aromas of rose petal, perfumed berry and exotic spice lead the nose. It’s radiant, with wonderful intensity and elegance, delivering ripe red cherry, raspberry compote, mineral, licorice, baking spice and a hint of mint alongside a backbone of firm, fine-grained tannins and edgy acidity. Despite the full structure and youthful tension, it has a remarkably silky, supple texture. Drink 2018–2032.
