Tenuta del Vallone Rosso's Nerello Mascalese comes from the south-western slopes of Mount Etna, from ungrafted vines that are over a hundred years old, where phylloxera has not affected the roots of the vines that grow on sandy, volcanic soil. The vines are trained using the traditional Etna alberello method and the plots are located at 1,080 metres above sea level. It is a blend of mainly Nerello Mascalese with a smaller percentage of Nerello Cappuccio and Alicante. The nose reveals hints of red fruits, Mediterranean herbs and dried rose petals, with spicy notes of black pepper on the finish. The palate is vertical and taut, with vivid freshness and marked tannins. Excellent paired with roast kid with potatoes and rosemary
