Lot 336 | 2021 IGT Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese 750ml

Lot 336
2021 IGT Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese

If you’re a fan of Burgundy, you need this wine in your life; strawberries and cherries on the nose harmoniously intertwine with cinnamon, new, soft leather, and red clay. The entry is wonderful with a bit of further red fruit and hints of forest floor framed by medium+ acidity and accented by barrel spices immediately evoking Finer Pinot noirs from around the globe. The finish reveals infinitesimally small tannins, silky in their presentation against a backdrop of dried strawberries and further barrel spices. For fans of Pinot Noir.

Overall rating: 4.5185184 / 5 from 27 reviews.

Reviews

A taste of Sicily

"I enjoyed this wine. It was light and lively but with more color than expected. Mostly plum and cherry, perhaps a little floral element too."

— Michael R. (4/5)

Real treat

"Great expression of the grape!"

— Zach O. (5/5)

Nice Nerello

"Compares favorably to the Villa Paradiso Etna Rosso I just got from Last Bottle, which was supposedly a screaming deal at $19."

— Dave L. (4/5)

Very nice with rich pastas in particular

"A steal"

— Douglas S. (4/5)

If you see this wine, buy it!

"Thank you for bringing this grape to de Negoce, Nerello Mascalese is not a common choice but we really appreciate the opportunity to buy a few bottles at an amazing price! I only wish fewer people bought it so there would be more for me. While the wine is often compared to Pinot Noir, this bottle brought its own nuances and texture. Refined fruit and balanced minerality in a light, crisp and very nice drinking Sicilian wine."

— Victoria D. (5/5)

Something Differnt

"This is the first bottle of Nerello I I have had and I enjoyed it very much. Medium body with a spicy nose, it will pair well with a range of foods."

— David T. (4/5)

Good vino, great value.

"Nice, modern style of Sicilian vino. Clean, juicy and moderately complex. Not too much tannin."

— Mark (4/5)

Good QPR

"Plus a nice surprise. Certainly benefits from some air then a pleasant, easy drinker - with food or away from the table. Would buy again."

— JAMIE R. (5/5)

bellissimo vino

"a fruity alla siciliana style pinot"

— John S. (5/5)

Excellent find!

"Really great wine. I opened it with a friend who loves reds and he thought it was a $40-50 bottle! Definitely needs 30-45 minutes to really open up and show its cards, but well worth the price."

— Jeffrey E. (5/5)
