Nicosia Nerello Mascalese 2024 (750ml) Breede River ValleyWinemaker Notes Produced with organically grown and selected Nerello Mascalese grapes, this wine is an authentic expression of one of the noblest Sicilian native varieties. It has a vivid ruby color and a very fragrant aroma featuring floral scents, notes of wild strawberry and red currant, with slightly spicy hints. Dry and well balanced on the palate, it reveals a good freshness and a pleasant red fruit finish.
