Vento di Mare – Nerello Mascalese

Vento di Mare – Nerello Mascalese

Vento di Mare – Nerello Mascalese is a delicious expression of Sicily’s classic red grape, crafted under the Terre Siciliane IGP designation from vineyards shaped by Mediterranean breezes and sandy soils. This 100 % Nerello Mascalese wine pours a ruby red color with garnet hues and greets the nose with intense aromas of wild berries, red cherry and hints of spice. The palate delivers a well-balanced, medium-bodied experience with elegant structure, fine acidity and harmonious fruit flavors that linger pleasantly.

Harvested in mid-September and gently vinified with careful maceration and fermentation, this wine is aged in stainless steel to maintain fresh aromatics and clarity. Its approachable profile makes it a versatile match for a wide range of dishes — from savory red meats and roasts to game and aged cheeses — or simply enjoyed on its own. While it offers great everyday appeal, the quality hints and character make it ideal for discovering one of Sicily’s most iconic grape varieties.
