Mortellito Cala Niuru Rosso 2024

Styled somewhat on the classic Cerasuolo wines of the nearby Vittoria region, the 'Calaniuru' is driven predominantly by the achingly bright freshness of Frappato, delivering pulpy red cherry and strawberry fruit laden with herbal, almost tea like savoriness and lithe earthy tannins. Abotu 25% Nero d'Avola lends a little added chutzpah and brooding spice but make no mistake, this is still a decidedly light-handed wine. Fresh and eminently quaffable, this is a bottle that takes perfect to a light chill and a sun-dappled afternoon.
