Vino di Anna, "Palmentino Rosso" 2018

A fresh, acid-driven Sicilian red made from a blending of different cuvées and plots of grapes, both red and white. From the winemaker:

"The third wine produced under this label is a blend of cuvees made from organically grown Nerello Mascalese grapes, hand harvested from terraced vineyards located high on the north face of Mt Etna, Sicily.  These old bush vines are co-planted with small quantities of Nerello Cappuccio, Grenache and the indigenous white varieties: Grecanico, Catarratto and Minella Bianca.  50% of the blend is wine made in a Palmento with only a 5 day skin maceration.  30% is wine made in a Georgian qvevri, with a one month skin maceration. The remaining 20% of the blend is a wine fermented and aged in a large, used, oak barrel."
