Sicily, Italy
Why would you put new oak on Nerello Mascalese?? This totally makes what should be an interesting red immediately generic. It’s still a decent wine - it’s just that with all that oak, it could be anything - a wimpy Rioja, or maybe an overblown Beaujolais if they accidentally over oaked something. So I could describe flavors, but it’s all from the oak so what’s the point.
