Nicosia 'Lenza di Munti' - Nerello Mascalese

This 2020 red wine is crafted from 100% Nerello Mascalese grapes, hailing from the volcanic island of Sicily, Italy. It's both organic and vegan, making it a great choice for health - conscious wine lovers. The grapes are grown on lava terraces 720 meters above sea level. The unique volcanic soils of Mt. Etna infuse the grapes with a distinct flavor. Nerello Mascalese, a late - ripening black grape, gives this wine a beautiful ruby red hue in the glass. On the palate, it starts with lovely notes of cherries and strawberries and finishes with a hint of charcoal and more red fruit. It pairs perfectly with eggplant parmesan, enhancing the dining experience.

To enjoy this wine, first, let it breathe for about 15 - 30 minutes before serving. This helps to open up the flavors. Serve it at a cool temperature, around 16 - 18°C. When pairing, as mentioned, it goes really well with eggplant parmesan, but you can also try it with other tomato - based pasta dishes or grilled vegetables. Keep the wine in a cool, dark place when storing it. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes, as this can affect its flavor. Once opened, try to finish the bottle within 2 - 3 days and store it in the refrigerator with a cork to keep it fresh.
