Nerello Mascalese

Nerello mascalese: the rosé heart of Etna

The Nerello mascalese is a winemaking gem born on the slopes of the majestic Etna volcano, in Sicily. This native grape variety, thriving in a soil rich in volcanic minerals, tells a story of resilience and tradition. With its roots in the lava soils, the Nerello mascalese is a variety that expresses itself with elegance and complexity, offering rosé wines of rare finesse.

The grapes of Nerello mascalese, cultivated between 400 and 1000 meters above sea level, benefit from a unique microclimate, characterized by strong temperature variations between day and night. This environment allows the berries to develop an extraordinary concentration of aromas and flavors. The rosé vinification of Nerello mascalese involves a short maceration on the skins, enough to give the wine its typical pale pink color without compromising its freshness and delicacy.

The Nerello mascalese rosé presents itself in the glass with a captivating salmon pink color, heralding a fresh and engaging aromatic bouquet. On the nose, notes of wild strawberries, pomegranate, and wildflowers emerge, enriched by a delicate mineral undertone. The taste is vibrant and harmonious, with a good structure and a lively acidity that invites a second sip. The finish, long and savory, leaves a pleasant sensation of freshness.

Perfect as an aperitif, the Nerello mascalese rosé pairs beautifully with dishes based on fish, shellfish, and white meats. Its versatility also makes it the ideal companion for an outdoor picnic or a summer dinner on the terrace.
