This is made entirely from Nerallo Mascalese, but that isn’t featured on the interesting label, and finished product does indeed seem influenced more by the volcano than the variety. So impressively delicate that the descriptor “exquisite” seems unavoidable, this is so subtle that it seems uncanny in its impression of weightlessness, yet it is quite expressive in aroma and even more so in flavor, with red cherry notes supported by ultra-fine tannins.
