Grape Variety: Nerello Mascalese

Colour: Red

Pleasantly earthy and flowery, with hints of tobacco and notable tannin content, the Nerello Mascalese is the best known of the Nerello varieties and the most versatile. Often a major component of DOC Etna Rosso, the Nerello Mascalese also lends itself well as an addition to aged varietals, adding a spicy, lively element.
