Perfumes explode from the glass—cherries and caramel char, cinnamon and cranberry—once the bottle is opened. Flavors are at once lush and precise—we like to call them micro-berries—as every sip gives you the incredible, delectable sensation of biting through the skin and flesh of the ripest summer fruit. Plums, raspberries, orange rinds blend with rose petals, pomegranate jam, even hints of red apples. Nerello captures the harmony of fine Burgundy with the stately grace of Barolo, yet given its volcanic heart, is definitely its own experience.
The hottest spot for wine in Sicily today: Mt Etna
9.28.2011
We can’t get enough of the wines of Mt. Etna in Sicily. It is so seldom that you come across something truly, completely new, a wine that delivers flavors that are so varied and exciting yet so undeniably pure and honest that immediately recalibrates what you think you know about the world of wine.
We like these sort of gustatory wake-up-calls, and we think after you’ve tasted this Nerello Mascalese you’ll feel the same. The miniature family estate of Pietradolce has only been around a handful of years but already their “Archineri” has been awarded Italy’s highest wine honors. A product of ancient vines grown on pure lava stone on the smoking slopes of volcanic Mt. Etna, “Archineri” is not only incredibly unique but also a full-bodied, plush and pleasing red that is tailor-made for the dinner table.
