Nerello Mascalese

Region: Italy, Sambuca di Sicily (AG)

Grape variety: Nero Mascalese

Background: Luma’s Nero d’Avola wears a friendly purple robe and elicits a smile from the moment it’s poured. For starters, a reassuring aroma complete with the scents of fresh berries, earth, and herbs, seeps from the glass to delight the nose. And in the mouth, Luma’s round, balanced mélange of fruit and earth grace the palate, before exiting gracefully with a nod and a smile. Neither massive nor complex, this Nero d’Avola doesn’t bully its way to the top; it charms its way with exceptional balance and eminent drinkability.

Tasting notes: A rich, juicy and ripe medium-bodied red from sunny Sicily with black cherry fruit and lifted black pepper notes.
