Cantine Nicosia
Etna Rosso DOC Nerello Mascalese Blend
Etna, Catania, Sicily, Italy
Blend of grapes, 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Nerello Cappuccio, with the second one adding body and tannins to the blend.
Pale ruby colour tending to garnet on the rim.
On the nose medium intensity of ripe red fruit, like strawberry jam, raspberry and cherry.
Dry on the palate, with high acidity and medium-high tannins, tending to full body. From grapes grown on a mineral volcanic soil, strong volcanic rocks and some leather flavours become intense after the fruit.
Medium-long finish.
