Wine Review: This slightly hazy and cherry red colored Nerello Mascalese from Di Giovanna in Sicily opens with a shy cedar and cherry bouquet with hints of red plum and rose petals. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and rather dry. The flavor profile is a stone dust and black cherry blend with notes of rose hip tea and black plum. I also detected some hints mild red currant and dried herbs. The finish is dry and its flavors, acidity, and dusty tannins linger and last for very long time. This Nerello Mascalese paired perfectly with pasta Bolognese. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Color: Ruby red.
Aroma: Elegant scents of dried cherry, pomegranate, and spice.
Flavor: Bright and complex, fine tannins and intense minerality give good length.
Pairs well with wild boar or roasted meats and fall vegetables.
