Nerello Cappuccio 2019 Calabretta
Nerello Cappuccio 2019 is a natural red wine produced by Calabretta. It is made from 100% Nerello Cappuccio grapes and it is very rare to find wines made exclusively from this variety, which is unfairly considered to be the younger brother of the more famous Nerello Mascalese.
The grapes come from a very young vineyard, recently planted, and both in the vineyard and in the cellar organic methods are applied with respect for the environment. The must ferments spontaneously and rests on its fine lees in barriques. Despite coming from very young vines, this Nerello Cappuccio di Calabretta is able to express great elegance and balance.
Intense ruby red in colour, this wine offers on the nose aromas of small red fruits such as blackberries and currants, together with spicy nuances and vegetable touches. The taste is balanced, mineral and persistent.
