Light ruby in color, this Nerello Mascalese opens with aromas of sour cherry, red currant, and wild strawberry, layered with subtle floral notes and hints of dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied and lifted, offering bright red fruit flavors supported by vibrant acidity and fine, silky tannins. A gentle mineral and earthy undertone adds depth and structure. The finish is clean, savory, and refreshingly precise.

The Estate

Villarini is produced in cooperation with the Botter family and selected local organic wine growers in Sicily. Together we aim at producing wines that both reflect the local traditions and terroir, but also the use of modern winemaking.

Wine Making

Sourced from vineyards across Sicily influenced by volcanic soils, the grapes are harvested to preserve natural acidity and freshness. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel with gentle extraction to maintain varietal purity and elegance. The wine is aged briefly in tank before bottling, emphasizing fruit expression and a lighter, food-friendly structure.

Food Suggestions

This versatile red pairs beautifully with grilled vegetables, mushroom-based dishes, and herb-roasted poultry. It also complements tomato-driven pasta, charcuterie, and lighter Mediterranean fare. Slightly chilled, it works exceptionally well for warm-weather dining and by-the-glass programs.
