Aldo Viola "Moretto" Terre Siciliane Rosso 2019 750ml

“Moretto” is Aldo's longer-macerated red blend, comprised of 50% Nerello Mascalese and 40% Perricone from younger vineyards, and 10% Syrah from ancient bush vines. The three varieties are fermented separately with native yeasts, with the Syrah seeing the longest contact with the skin. Then 50% ages in stainless steel tanks and the other 50% in small used wooden barrels for 6 months. The wine is not filtered and only a small amount of sulfur dioxide is used. Medium-bodied and easy to drink, with red fruits, aromatic herbs and marine notes; on the palate it is juicy, rich and fresh, with true Mediterranean character.
