La Bacca Nerello Mascalese, a flavourful red from Sicily, is crafted with 100% Nerello Mascalese grapes. Enjoy bright aromas of redcurrants and cherry, followed by soft and juicy notes of ripe plum, red berry, and more cherry (should have guessed after seeing the label). With a balanced blend of tannins and acidity, it's an exquisite expression of Sicily. Great with pork wrapped in prosciutto, sausages, and tomato-based pasta dishes.

About Producer

Established in 2003, Adria Vini is a winemaking venture jointly owned by Boutinot and Araldica Castelvero, the leading co-operative in the Monferrato hills of Piemonte. The stated aim is to produce authentic, well-priced still and sparkling wines from local grape varieties. All aspects of production, from grape selection through to vinification, maturation, blending and bottling are meticulously overseen by Araldica's winemaking team of Claudio Manera and Lella Burdese - assisted by Boutinot's Tony Brown MW. They source from a range of private growers and cooperatives, with whom they have built long term relationships, principally in Veneto, Friuli, Lombardy, Sicily, Puglia, Abruzzo and Sardinia.

Vineyard and Winery

The Nerello Mascalese was sourced from a long-standing partner of Adria Vini in western Sicily and was vinified in stainless steel.
