Nerello Cappuccio wines

Nerello Cappuccio wines originate from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy, where the Nerello Cappuccio grape thrives alongside Nerello Mascalese in the mineral-rich soils and high-altitude vineyards. While often used in blends with Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio is also capable of producing intriguing single-varietal wines. These wines are esteemed for their elegance, structure, and distinctive character, offering a unique expression of Sicily's volcanic terroir.

Nerello Cappuccio wines typically exhibit a deep ruby color and offer enticing aromas of red fruits, dried flowers, and spices, with hints of earth and herbs. On the palate, these wines are characterized by their medium to full-bodied texture, supple tannins, and vibrant acidity, with flavors of cherry, plum, and savory notes. Nerello Cappuccio's versatility allows it to pair well with a variety of dishes, from grilled meats and hearty stews to pasta dishes with rich tomato sauces and aged cheeses. Whether enjoyed on its own or as part of a blend, Nerello Cappuccio wines capture the essence of Sicily's volcanic terroir and the island's rich winemaking heritage.
