✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched hills of Sicily, Cantine Nicosia's 'Fondo Filara' Bio Nerello Mascalese is a vibrant celebration of the island's signature red grape, grown under strict organic farming practices. The Nicosia family, with over a century of winemaking history on the slopes of Mount Etna and surrounding Sicilian territories, crafted the Fondo Filara line to express the pure, unadulterated relationship between indigenous varietals and their terroir. This organic Nerello Mascalese is sourced from carefully selected vineyards where the combination of intense Mediterranean sun, cooling sea breezes, and mineral-rich soils coaxes out the grape's elegant, wild-berry aromas and signature spicy undertones. Vinified primarily in stainless steel to preserve its bright fruit character and volcanic-tinged minerality, this wine tells a story of sustainable stewardship and ancient Sicilian viticultural heritage.
