Pettinociarelle Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese
90% Nerello Mascalese with 10% Nerello Cappucio! It is so aromatic—lovely florals, anise, and slightly sanguine notes tumble out of the glass. It’s silky smooth and somehow rich but light on the palate. Red plums and raspberry cordial glide down easily, a hint of spice perking up on the finish, which makes a surprise return to earth and berries. I’m downright in love.
