Tasting Notes
This is 100% Nerello Mascalese from estate vineyards in Randazzo and Castiglione di Sicilia. Marco seeks to make a wine that has the body of a white and the soul of a red. We think he has achieved this. The grapes are picked a little earlier with limited time on skins. The colour is pale and Nerello sapidity shines through in terms of character. It’s all white nectarines and tangerines with a twist of lime and lemon; there are hints of almond, dried flowers and sea minerals – this is the kind of rosato that makes you want to eat! - Producer Note
Winery Note:
The white grapes were a mumbo-jumbo of local varieties: Carricante, Catarratto, Grecanico, Inzolia and Minnella. So that's what my Etna Bianco was: a field blend of all the above, with Carricante dominating the blend with roughly 65%. And that's what it still is. All from old vines. And, somehow, it works. Deviously drinkable, still it always clings.
