The Nerello Mascalese Vecchie Vigne 2015 from Calabretta is a wine of exceptional elegance and complexity that bears the rich tradition and terroir of Sicily. The color is deep dark, with a sparkling garnet red that reflects the depth and concentration of this wine. Its scent is a seduction for the senses: aromas of dark cherries, black berries, cedarwood and a subtle mineral note unfold in the nose and evoke memories of sun-drenched vineyards and volcanic soils

On the palate, this wine is a masterpiece of balance and finesse. Silky tannins envelop the palate, while notes of ripe berries, black cherries, dark chocolate and a touch of Mediterranean herbs seduce the senses. The acidity is lively and well-integrated, and the finish is long-lasting with a persistent mineral freshness that refreshes the palate and invites you to take the next sip

The main grape variety for this wine is Nerello Mascalese, an autochthonous grape variety that thrives in the volcanic soils on the slopes of Etna. Nerello Mascalese is characterized by its thin skins and its ability to develop complex aromas ranging from red fruits to spicy notes and earthy minerality. The old vines from which this wine comes contribute to the concentration and depth of the flavor profile and give it

a unique personality.
