If you are sick of drinking Pinot Noir on Thanksgiving, this Sicilian red is your answer. Nerello Mascalese is a light-bodied red wine that primarily grows on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. The Contrada R stuns with captivating scents of pressed rose, violet, and dark cherry. The palate delivers cherry, rosemary, white pepper, and star anise framed in smooth, silky tannins. It is vibrant and fresh and will undoubtedly bring out the best in Thanksgiving’s signature dishes.
