Peri Peri Sicilia Red Blend Malpelo 2021 750ml

The Rosso “MALPELO” embodies the rebellious spirit of one of the most iconic characters of Sicilian literature such as Rosso Malpelo, the one with “red hair”, with a mischievous and cheeky personality.

This wine represents the harmonious union of three native Sicilian grape varieties: Nerello Mascalese, Frappato, and Perricone, offering a rich and complex tasting experience that expresses the unique characteristics of each variety and the mastery of winemaking that skillfully brought them together.

MALPELO has a beautiful ruby color with violet reflections that denote its youthfulness and vitality. On the nose, delicate notes of fresh red fruits, such as strawberries and cherries, are accompanied by subtle hints of spice. Floral hints of violets and roses also emerge, adding a touch of elegance to the overall aroma of the wine. On the palate, this blend offers a pleasant harmony of flavors. The fruity notes of strawberries, cherries, and raspberries blend with subtle spicy undertones and a

slightly herbaceous character. It has a balanced structure with soft tannins and good acidity, providing freshness and liveliness.

MALPELO pairs well with grilled or braised red meats.

A vibrant and sun-drenched red from Sicily that is an absolute joy to drink. The nose is an inviting burst of ripe black cherries, crushed wild berries, and distinctive notes of Mediterranean herbs and fresh thyme. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a wonderfully supple and juicy texture. The fruit is forward and delicious, supported by soft, dusty tannins and a bright line of acidity that keeps it fresh and lively through the finish, which leaves a pleasant hint of black pepper and savory spice.

This Nero d'Avola-based blend is a fantastic example of modern Sicilian winemaking, offering excellent concentration and typicity. It presents a rich core of plum and blackberry fruit, complemented by nuances of licorice and a touch of earth. The mouthfeel is round and generous, with a smooth, approachable structure that makes it highly drinkable now. It delivers outstanding quality and character for its price point.
