Tasting :
"The 2008 Nerello Mascalese from Di Giovanna is one of the richer, darker Nerellos readers are likely to come across. This is a weighty, brooding wine with tons of black fruit and surprising concentration for this grape and terrain. The wine’s depth is impressive." -AG Wine Advocate -R. Parker
