The typical transparency of Nerello Mascalese anticipates the wine's elegance in the glass.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe bouquet is complex and refined: notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe red fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e such as cherry and raspberry emerge, followed by touches of sweet spices, hints of Mediterranean herbs, and a light mineral imprint reminiscent of the volcanic soil.
