The 2023 Ottoventi Nerello Mascalese is a deep ruby-hued, single varietal from Sicily that should not be overlooked.

In fact, if you’re not familiar with the grape itself you can look for it within an easy majority of any of the reds that come from Sicily. To me- and I’ve been in a major Sicilian phase- this example of the variety goes right to the nature that appeals so distinctly to its fans worldwide.

While Nero d’Avola seems to be the grape that dominates the wines that we in the US- know that this is not that.

Of all the wines I’ve had made from Nerello Mascalese, I’ve thought of them far more approachable, more complex, and at times in a league of their own on a global stage. — 2 months ago

£10.50 TWS. 2013 vintage. Very nice Muscat - floral but light. Not sure if better than the (cheaper) Caves de Pegoes... Definite rose aromas and holds it's own against strong flavours. — 12 years ago

Kyle, this may be a good margin wine? — 10 years ago

Lemon/citrus curd nose, fresh candied rind and a little stem/leaf structure on the palette that drops off a cliff to finish. But that is the foundation of a quality zesty build. — 12 years ago
