Aldo Viola Moretto Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese - Syrah Blend 2019

ITALY : SICILY Nerello Mascalese, Perricone, Syrah MED-BODIED, RED CHERRY, RASPBERRY, UNDERRIPE RED PLUM, EARTH, NO OAK “Moretto” is Aldo's longer-macerated red blend, comprised of 50% Nerello Mascalese and 40% Perricone from younger vineyards, and 10% Syrah from ancient bush vines. The three varieties are fermented separately with native yeasts, with the Syrah seeing the longest contact with the skin. Then 50% ages in stainless steel tanks and the other 50% in small used wooden barrels for 6 months. The wine is not filtered and only a small amount of sulfur dioxide is used. Medium-bodied and easy to drink, with red fruits, aromatic herbs and marine notes; on the palate it is juicy, rich and fresh, with true Mediterranean character.   ECOLOGY: Biodynamic PAIRING: I Am The Appetizer
