Nerello Mascalese

Nerello Mascalese is a red wine grape variety predominantly grown on the volcanic soils of Sicily, particularly around Mount Etna. Characterized by its medium to high acidity, it often exhibits flavors of red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, along with herbal notes and a mineral backbone reflecting its terroir.

This wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and rich pasta sauces. Its acidity complements fatty foods, making it a suitable match for aged cheeses and charcuterie boards as well.
