A unique wine, perfect for gifting or enjoying on special occasions. Terroir: The Mamertino D.O.C. reserve originates from the hills of Milazzo, facing the Aeolian Islands. It is named after the Mamertines, who settled in the area during the Roman Empire and began producing this wine. Grapes: Mamertino combines the robustness of Nero d'Avola, the elegance of Nocera, and the complexity of Nerello Mascalese, giving the wine structure and a deeply Sicilian character. Vinification: Prolonged maceration on the skins and fermentation at controlled temperatures (18-24°C) with pump-overs and delestage. Aged for 12 months in 5 hl French oak tonneaux to enrich the aromatic profile. Tasting: Mamertino presents a ruby red color with violet reflections. On the palate, it is velvety and well-balanced, with sweet notes of plum and cherry. The aroma is intense and reminiscent of dark fruit jam. Recommended pairings: With its soft and round taste, it enhances pasta dishes with ragù, red meats, and aged cheeses. Storage: Serve at 16-18 degrees. Drink immediately or store for up to 3 years.
