2020 Nicolò Grippaldi 'Le Domeniche di Teo' Rosso

76% Nerello Mascalese and 24% Nero d’Avola, all farmed biodynamically on vineyards planted in 2015 on Nicolò’s great-grandfather’s abandoned land in Gagliano Castelferrato, a small village 1800’ above sea level in the geographical center of the island. He’s the only person making wine out here, and he does it totally naturally and by himself. Native yeasts, no fining or filtration, and no sulphur use in the cellar. 

93 points, James Suckling. "Wet-stone and rose aromas blend with notes of crushed cherries, thyme, rosemary and elderberries. Medium-to full-bodied with very fine, slightly tight tannins. It begins floral, but slowly becomes more mineral and complex. A sturdy core of red fruit grounds the palate throughout. Bark, chicory root and dried herbs come through. Layered. From biodynamically grown grapes. 76% nerello mascalese ad 24% nero d'avola."
