Description

Sicily's Azienda Agricola Cortese is owned by renowned oenologist Stefano Girelli. It teams technology with traditional winemaking techniques and the colourful Nostru wine labels are inspired by authentic Sicilian Majolica ceramics. The wine within is a classic Sicilian red made with the indigenous Nerello Mascalese grape variety. Deliciously silky and vibrant it’s full of red berry fruits, with a touch of peppery spice and a balanced character.

Tasting Note

This classic Sicilian red wine is made from the local Nerello Mascalese grape. It is vibrant ruby in colour, offering fine and complex aromas reminiscent of red berry fruits, with a touch of a peppery spice. On the palate, the elegance of the volcanic terroir shines through. The tannins are silky-smooth and balanced with a mineral character on the long finish.

Cortese Nostru Nerello Mascalese

The Irish Sun

This vibrant Sicilian red proved to be an instant hit the first time I tasted it in late 2018. The Nerello Mascalese fruit comes from the volcanic terroir on the foothills of Mount Etna. The red berry fruit and spicy aromas leads into an elegant, mid-weight palate with some depth, silky tannins, and notes of soft red summer fruit. Balanced with a streak of minerality on a long and very satisfying finish.
