Tenuta del Travale "Eleuteria" Nerello Mascalese
It is rare to find Nerello Mascalese anywhere outside the volcanic slopes of Mt. Etna in Sicily, but in the small commune of Travale di Rovito, a micro-farm brings Nerello to the steep slopes of their vineyard, nestled on the foothills of the Sila Mouuntain, where Nerello originated from centuries before.
.Everything is harvested on site by hand, in a nod to the historical tradition of the region, and out of necessity due to the extreme altitude and steep climb of the vineyard. The result is a wine of elegance and structure and a bottle well capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the great wines of Etna.
