Feudo Solaria Nerello Mascalese Rosato 2023
It offers a floral and fruity bouquet with pleasant notes of pomegranate and currant, on a background of wild strawberries. It is pleasant on the palate, thanks to the fresh acidity and pleasant flavor, well balanced by the balanced softness.
The family has been part of the wine world since 1887. Since then, five generations have succeeded one another at the helm of the Grasso Winery, achieving increasingly important and challenging goals. Today Alessio, the fourth generation, with his sons Tullio and Carmelo are working on new ambitious projects.
Nerello Mascalese is a highly regarded, dark-skinned grape variety that grows most commonly on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily.
Nerello Mascalese wines, which have had a rapid upsurge in popularity in the last decade, tend to reflect their surroundings, giving taut, fresh red wines with fruity, herbaceous flavors, excellent minerality, and an earthy nuance. Nerello Mascalese wines often have a perfume reminiscent of those of the noble wines of Barolo and Burgundy.
The variety takes its name from the Mascali plain between Mount Etna and the coast where it is thought to have originated – a small portion of older vines predate the phylloxera epidemic of the 1880s. Recent DNA testing has confirmed that the variety is the offspring of Italy's famous Sangiovese grape variety and Mantonico Bianco.
