2020 Vino di Anna Jeudi 15 Rosso Nerello Mascalese Rosso, Sicily

Jeudi 15” Rosso is produced from organically farmed Nerello Mascalese grapes grown in several 80-90 year old bush vine vineyards located in the stunning contrada of MonteLaguardia. Situated at altitudes of between 800 to 840 metres, these vineyards can be found on the northern slopes of Mt Etna, between the village of Passopisciaro and Randazzo. The vineyards are predominantly Nerello Mascalese, co-planted with small percentages of Nerello Cappuccio and Alicante (Grenache), as is the tradition of the area.

Crimson red in colour, this wine has lifted aromas of red cherries, wild raspberries and delicate white flowers. The palate is juicy, medium bodied and flavoursome, with bright red fruit and underlying spice. The tannins are fine and austere. The finish is mineral and long, typical of wines from volcanic soils.
