WINERY: Antichi Vinai COUNTRY: Italy REGION: Sicily APPELLATION: Terre Siciliane GRAPE: 100% Nerello Mascalese WINEMAKER NOTES: A younger vine, lower elevation Nerello Mascalese that hits the profile of its highly regarded superior Etna Rosso and serves as a good entry point to the volcanic wines of Mt. Etna. TASTING NOTES: Bright red fruits, savory, softly earthy, supple tannins. PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Roasted chicken, soft cheeses. ABOUT THE WINERY: Way back in 1877 the Gangemi family began farming on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. With over a century of experience it makes sense why they are known as Antichi Vinai or “ancient vintners”. The torch has been passed for 5 generations, each adding their own unique contributions and it’s currently led by Giuseppe Gangemi with his daughter Viviana as his protege.
