Tasting Notes:
A bright, juicy take on Sicily’s most noble red grape. Light on its feet but not short on character—this Nerello leads with sour cherry, dried rose, and dusty herbs, backed by a flicker of volcanic minerality. Fresh, dry, and clean, with gentle tannins and just the right edge of rusticity.

Food Pairings:
Great with grilled eggplant, pizza, mushroom pasta, or Sicilian sardines. Chill it slightly and serve with good company.

About the Producer:
Nicosia is a fifth-generation family winery working the volcanic soils around Etna. While they produce a range of classic Sicilian wines, this bottle leans into freshness, simplicity, and a clear sense of place.
