Dark cherries and dried flowers with pumice and spices on the nose. Medium to full body with tight, firm tannins. Racy, with wonderful depth. From old vines with an average age of 70 years. Drinkable now, but will be great in a few years.

Notes

The Alberelli di Giodo Nerello Mascalese is Carlo Ferrini’s tribute to the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, produced from tiny parcels of 80- to 100-year-old pre-phylloxera vines. These ancient vines are trained in the traditional bush-style (alberello) at a staggering altitude of 950 meters on the volcano's northern face. On the nose, the wine is high-toned and ethereal, characterized by wild berry aromas of cassis and strawberry mingled with volcanic signatures of ash, iron, and crushed stone. The palate is exceptionally graceful yet structured, balancing a translucent red fruit core with powdered, fine-grained tannins and a vibrant, citrus-tapered acidity. It finishes with immense focus and a lingering "lava-like" minerality, showcasing the same quest for elegance that Ferrini pursues in his iconic Brunellos but with the wild, vertical energy unique to Etna's high-altitude terroir.
