di Giovanna Nerello Mascalese 2011

Located in the rustic hills of western Sicily, the Di Giovanna estate farms all of their vineyards under strict organic guidelines, and all of the wines are certified by Suolo e Salute. Internationally reowned enologist Riccardo Cotarella assists both in the vineyards and in the cellar.

Nerello Mascalese is a darkly colored, spicy, aromatic grape indigenous to Sicily. Full of ripe, penetrating dark fruit, the 2007 Di Giovanna Nerello Mascalese is an easy sipping red, pure in flavor and joyful in the glass. A touch of pepper and chocolate persist into the finish, with well tempered tannins and generous southern Italian personality. Perfect for casual get togethers, picnics, barbecues as well as adventurous food pairings.
