2020 Due Terre Nerello Mascalese Terre Siciliane

Product description

Nerello Mascalese is an indigenous Sicilian varietal that has s the primary grape in the famous wines of Mount Etna.  Naturally high in tannins and light in color, the grape takes on a softer, more approachable character when grown on the lower elevation sandy soils like those on the island's Southwest.  Here, in the Due Terre bottling, the grape drinks like an earthy, lifted and light Rhône Syrah, with approachable tannins, bright, tart red fruit, sour cherries, dark plums and a finish of wet earth.  Lovely with a slight chill and a burger.  Or just a slight chill and friends.
