Terre di Trente - Nerello Mascalese Rosso

Nerello Mascalese has been cultivated on Etna for over 4 centuries. Our vines are 70 years old and grown on sloped terraces.

A complex intriguing wine with subtle spicy aromas, a touch of wild berries, the right acid balance and pleasant tannins that linger on the nose and palate. Nerello Mascalese in combination with Nerello Cappuccio creates a wine that is more than the sum of its parts with divine flavor and elegance.

Indigenous Nerello Mascalese grapes are hand-picked and cultivated using organic methods without pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
