Made from 100% nero mascalese grown in a single vineyard at 800m on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, this is a wild wine. Elegant, tart and scented this has great poise and energy. Wild strawberry, floral, and sour-cherry flavours, are lifted by the bright acidity on this light-bodied delicate Sicilian red, which shows complex ferrous minerality on the finish.
