Romano Vini Fawarah Nerello Mascalese – Elegant and Organic Red Wine from Sicily

Sicilian Elegance with Exceptional Vibrancy

While many associate Sicily with heavy and dark red wines, “Fawarah” Nerello Mascalese showcases a completely different, aristocratic side of the island’s wine production. The grape, which is native to the island’s volcanic slopes, thrives in Romano Vini’s organic vineyards in the Palermo province. The combination of limestone-rich soil and marked temperature differences between day and night results in a red wine with exceptional freshness, fine tannins, and a crisp, lively character.

Focus on Pure Fruit and Balance

Romano Vini treats this delicate grape with the utmost care. Following a gentle manual harvest, the must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with precise maceration to extract only the finest, most elegant tannins. The wine matures exclusively in steel to keep the grape’s unique primary fruit character and crisp acidity intact, resulting in an extremely juicy, pure, and easy-drinking red wine.

Tasting Notes

• Color: Beautiful, transparent, and light ruby red – highly classic for the grape variety.

• Nose: Elegant, fresh, and nuanced. The nose opens with crisp red fruits such as wild strawberries, raspberries, and pomegranate, followed by delicate undertones of wild herbs, white pepper, and a subtle mineral touch.

• Palate: Slender, fresh, and remarkably harmonious on the palate. The wine boasts fantastic juiciness and a fine, silky tannin bite, perfectly balanced by a refreshing acidity. The finish is clean, elegant, and pleasantly lingering.
