Guccione Nerello Mascalese 2021

Guccione Nerello Mascalese NM 2021 | Natural Red Wine

Certified organic and a proud member of the exclusive international Renaissance des Appellations circuit, this 100% Nerello Mascalese is grown far from the dark lava soils of Mount Etna, revealing a completely unseen, elegant side of Sicily. It is a highly limited, collectible cuvée that is bottled completely unfiltered, unclarified, and with ultra-low sulfites. It is a dream bottle for wine enthusiasts who look for the vertical tension, intense aromatic complexity, and fine-grained structure typically found in great red Burgundies. Featuring an approachable and balanced 14% ABV, it offers a tense, incredibly fresh, and graceful fluid profile.

Appearance: Pours a beautiful, brilliant light ruby-red color with elegant garnet edges, displaying the classic, charming transparency that closely resembles a fine Pinot Noir.

Nose: A noble, deep bouquet that continuously evolves in the glass. It opens up with striking notes of red plums, wild blackberries, sour cherries, and forest raspberries. As it breathes, it reveals complex secondary layers of fine sweet spices, dried rose petals, fine leather, and subtle balsamic and herbal hints.

Palate: On the palate, it strikes an impeccable balance between structural warmth and alpine-like agility. It is highly fresh, remarkably savory, and driven by a sharp vertical acidity. The tannins are incredibly delicate, soft, and finely integrated, steering the sip toward a bone-dry, persistent, and beautifully floral finish.
