Grown at 870m altitude on Mt Etna. Looks and smells a little like a Pinot Noir: transparent red and redcurrant and wild thyme aroma. Very herby on the palate, with more redcurrant and elderberry fruit. Crisp acidity, dry yet light tannin and a complex, savoury finish. Fantastic, ethereal wine.

Press Review
93/100 - The 2020 Sicilia Nerello Mascalese Eruzione 1614 opens to a medium dark ruby hue with lively primary fruit. Wild berry and cassis are backed by softly rendered oak tones of cinnamon and campfire ash. Even though it is technically outside of the DOC (by just a few yards), this is one of the most beautiful growing sites on Etna. The tannins are firm but silky, meaning you can drink this bottle straight out of the gate. Drink 2023-2029
