Contrada Porcaria Sicilia Nerello Mascalese
Bright ruby with low concentration. Beautiful nose of clean red fruits and flowers - juicy plum, red cherry, raspberry, rose, and licorice candy. Dried herbs, mushroom, sanguine, and savory notes on the palate with moderate alcohol, elevated but smooth tannins, and bright acidity. One of the best expressions of Nerello!

Jul 22nd, 2019Deliciousness from the slopes of Etna. Whereas lower altitude areas suffered that year, these slopes clearly fared well in 2011. Pinot like in structure. Earthy, forest fruits, focused. It was a delicious accompaniment to a home-smoked chicken.
