La Bacca Nerello Mascalese Terre Siciliane IGT 2023

La Bacca’s 2023 Nerello Mascalese is a vibrant and approachable take on Sicily’s most prized red grape. This expression dials up the juicy, youthful charm of the grape. Aromatically, it opens with bright notes of redcurrant, wild cherry and a hint of rose petal. The palate is soft and rounded, delivering ripe plum, cranberry and red berry flavours with just a whisper of spice. There is a lovely purity to the fruit here, supported by gentle, unobtrusive tannins and a line of fresh acidity that keeps everything light and lively.

Unlike many of its more intense and structured Sicilian counterparts, this version of Nerello Mascalese leans into drinkability and charm. It is unoaked, easygoing and made for earlier drinking. This is a wine for those who enjoy Pinot Noir or Gamay but want something a little sunnier and more rustic. It captures the heart of Sicilian winemaking with bold flavours, honest fruit and a sense of place, without the weight or price tag of Etna’s bigger examples. A fantastic value red that offers loads of character for the price.
