Duca Di Salaparuta, Vajasindi Lavico Nerello Mascalese 2018, Terre Siciliane IGT, Italy

Tasting Note: A robust Nerello Mascalese with generous red fruit and depth.

Medium-intensity ruby in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of red cherry, red plum, strawberry, rosehip and blossom.

On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied Nerello Mascalese has medium-plus-intensity, red-fruit flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium-plus acidity and ripe, medium tannin ultimately completing with a red-cherry-infused, medium-plus finish.

Complex red-fruit reveals subtlety of flavor.

A versatile red wine that could be paired with a steak and stand on its own.
