Vino di Anna, Vigna Pirao Rosso 2022 Grenache leaner style but still nicelyPlace: Etna, Italy Grape: Nerello Mascalese Vibe: Gorgeous This is a special wine, and despite never visiting the vineyard, I feel like I know it deeply. At 1,000 metres above the town of Randazzo, there are around 900 surviving pre phylloxera Nerello Mascalese bush vines that remain, to this day, completely untreated. Eric call's this his 'Garden of Eden'. In the cellar, this fruit is supplemented with some newer plantings from massale selections.
