    Vento di Mare Nerello Mascalese - Bright and Juicy

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: April 12, 2022 Last Updated: January 1, 2023

    A nice, inexpensive and organic find from western Sicily, the Vento di Mare Nerello Mascalese Terre Siciliane IGP.

    Vento di Mare Nerello Mascalese - Bright and Juicy

    100% Nerello Mascalese, organically grown in Colline di Gibellina in western Sicily, Italy. The wine is matured in stainless steel tanks.

    Sample submitted for review. The wine has an SRP of $12 and is available for as low as $10. It is imported by Cantine Ermes.

    From the bottle:

    Vento di Mare Nerello Mascalese is produced from organic grapes grown in picturesque vineyards located on the sunny island of Sicily. Deep, dark in color, this wine delights with aromas of plum and blackberry with a balanced and spicy finish.

    Produced and Bottled by Cantine Ermes
    13.5% Alcohol

    The 2019 Vento di Mare Nerello Mascalese Terre Siciliane IGP opens with a very bright and pleasing fresh berry and sour cherry aroma with touches of leather, balsamic and eucalyptus.

    The medium-bodied wine tastes smooth and easy to drink and features similar flavors to the nose. It's a bit one dimensional with the focus on the sour, juicy fruit but it's still quite good, especially for the price.

    It ends with a dry, medium-long finish.
