VIGNETI ZABU, Il Passo` Nerello Mascalese, 6x75cl

🍷 Vigneti Zabù – Il Passo Nerello Mascalese
Italy | Sicily | Terre Siciliane IGT | 100% Nerello Mascalese
Style: Still Red Wine
Winemaking: Grapes are partially dried using the appassimento method to intensify concentration and flavour before fermentation. Ageing takes place in oak barrels to enhance complexity and soften the structure
Farming: From hillside vineyards in Sambuca di Sicilia, where warm Sicilian days and cool nights allow Nerello Mascalese to ripen fully while maintaining natural freshness and aromatic clarity

🌋 A bold yet elegant Sicilian red—volcanic soul, velvety depth.

👁 In the Glass:
Intense ruby with garnet highlights—deep and inviting.

👃 On the Nose:
Rich and aromatic. Black cherry, dried cranberry, and plum intertwine with notes of wild herbs, dark spice, and a hint of vanilla and cocoa.

👅 On the Palate:
Full and velvety. Juicy dark fruit meets soft, rounded tannins, layered with spice, sweet tobacco, and earthy minerality. A plush mid-palate leads into a long, warming finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Delicious with grilled lamb, Sicilian caponata, aubergine parmigiana, or aged cheeses. A soulful match for Mediterranean flavours and slow-cooked meats.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Drinks beautifully now for its richness and smoothness but can age gracefully for up to 5–7 years.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Il Passo is a modern interpretation of Sicily’s noble Nerello Mascalese—ripe, smooth, and layered with character. A crowd-pleaser that offers both intensity and finesse, all with a distinct southern Italian flair.
