VURRIA Rosato di Nerello Mascalese IGP Terre Siciliane

Have you tried Sicilian wine before? ⁠I haven’t had much of it so I was so excited to try the VURRIA Rosato di Nerello Mascalese IGP Terre Siciliane Rosato from Di Giovanna Wines. I’ve never had a Sicilian Rosato before so it was great to try one. ⁠
⁠
The winery is on a 5th generation family property in the mountainside of Monte Genuardo, a protected nature reserve. Organic vineyards surround the winery in the zones of western Sicily’s Sambuca di Sicilia and Contessa Entellina. ⁠
⁠
The VURRIA Rosato di Nerello Mascalese IGP Terre Siciliane from Di Giovanna wines is made using 100% Nerello Mascalese grapes which I have never tried before. The wine is an IGP Terre Siciliane, and the wine is Certified Organic and Vegan Friendly too! ⁠
⁠
I really enjoyed this wine as it was fresh and balanced. The wine itself was as vibrant as the colour in the bottle. On the nose, I got a hit of floral along with citrus and a hint of herbs. In the glass, I got a hint of strawberries along with a touch of minerality that rounded off that fruit. The palate was super fresh but the flavours lingered long after you took a sip. I loved how elegant and balanced this Rosato was but still complex. ⁠
⁠
Because the VURRIA Rosato di Nerello Mascalese IGP Terre Siciliane from Di Giovanna wine has a bit of weight to it, although not too much, it makes it a great food wine and perfect for these last warmer days! Grilled pork or fish would be a great pairing or even Asian cuisine like a fresh salad or sushi. ⁠
