1L 2020 Flavia Nerello Mascalese Etna Rosso

From: Marsala, Sicily, ItalyVarietal: Nerello MascaleseTaste: This wine shows red fruit aromas of ripe cherry, wild strawberry, and red currant, with subtle floral notes, earthy undertones of crushed rock, and hints of aromatic herbs, notes of tobacco, black tea, and warm spices. On the palate, it is notable for its vibrant acidity and pronounced minerality, carrying a fine, dusty tannin. The finish lingers with a balance of red fruit, savory spice, and a touch of smoke.

 Pairing: A classic match is Pasta alla Norma, where fried eggplant, tomatoes, basil, and ricotta salata highlight the wine’s freshness while softening its tannins with the creamy, salty cheese. Grilled swordfish with capers and olives works equally well, as the briny elements enhance the wine’s mineral backbone and bright red fruit flavors. Olive-Walnut PastaBy Ali Slagle About: Flavia Rebellious Wines, located in Marsala, Sicily, upholds a winemaking tradition that dates back to 1860.
