I find this wine to be very interesting given that it is an ancestral grape from the island of #Sicily (#Grillo) and a winery that I had never heard of before, but it’s quite high acid and crisper than I imagined. I wouldn’t recommend it as a sipper or first glass but much rather something to pair with something citric or sharp. — 3 years ago

Funky that jumps between ocean bilge, peppermint sanitizer and sarsaparilla, that has been tilled into jungle soils with bat guano. (Touch of Brett) Red apple, smoked plum, rhubarb, granulated black cherry, graphite and burnt stubble. Would love to see this without the flaws. #NerelloMascalese #sicily #sicilianwines #Cirasa #organic #doc #rosso #italianwines #italianred — 6 years ago

I like this add of 30% Grenache to the Nero and frappatto. Med bodied and lots to say #sicily — 7 years ago

Yummy fresh and crunchy. Clean red fruit and #volcanic soil. Perfect chilled or first red or with blue fish. #etna #nerellomascalese #sicilia #sicily #italy — 3 years ago

Mandarins, jasmine. Saline; a bit of fino, almond and macadamia through the finish. Clean and definitely Sicilian. If all natural wines were this good, I’d have no bone to pick. #tami #grillo #sicily — 6 years ago

Although young, it was a great wine that was medium bodied and easy to drink all day. Grapes grown on Volcano Mt. Etna . #sicily #etnawines — 6 years ago

Nose of dried flowers, fino sherry and green tea. Notes of cider and autolysis detract just a bit- as they make the wine seem simple (which it isn’t)- but I’m sure the natural wine hive mind will disagree on that point. Still, quite saline, focused and super long. Imagine a few years of aging will bring added weight and richness. #occhipinti #sicily — 6 years ago

Vintage 2016 - Selected with- and for my student daughter. Pleasurewine from #catarratto and #chardonnay from #Sicily. Clearly minerals in smell, citrus also. Good balance and fenomenal price/quality. Surely a good springwine. Not special but to colour everyday life. 😉 — 6 years ago

Fun wine. Notes of Campari, burnt orange, spice, red fruit, flowers on the nose. The palate was lean but lively. Balanced structure but lacked fruit in mid palate. Fine finish. Good food wine. #frappato #sicily #ctbucklinwine — 6 years ago
