CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The Alberelli di Giodo 2019 Sicilia Nerello Mascalese is a wine true to its volcanic roots. This elegant grape variety reveals a tight embroidery of aromas with wild rose, sour cherry, white pepper and campfire ash. The tannins are polished and long, and this deftly made Nerello Mascalese is endowed with plenty of natural freshness and tart berry flavors that drive a long, nuanced finish. This is another super star bottle from winemaker Carlo Ferrini."


James Suckling - "Dark cherries and dried flowers with pumice and spices on the nose. Medium to full body with tight, firm tannins. Racy, with wonderful depth. From old vines with an average age of 70 years."


Decanter - "A charming wine from star Italian winemaking consultant Carlo Ferrini. The nose is filled with cherries and floral aromatics with the body of the wine dense and textured with chewy tannins and persistence of bright red fruit freshness. Juicy with a nice hit of acidity and touch of spice around the edges. Made from 100% Nerello Mascalese."
