What to Expect
Nerello Mascalese from Benanti offers a pale red wine with aromas of cherry, cranberry, rosemary, smoke, and stony volcanic notes. The tannins are noticeable but fine, offering structure without being overpowering. Expect a serious yet delicate wine that pairs well with mushrooms, poultry, pork, oily fish, and charred vegetables, reminiscent of Pinot Noir or Nebbiolo but with the distinctive Sicilian character.
