The wine region of Mamertino di Milazzo
DOC (2004) of north-eastern Sicily around Milazzo and its Tyrrhenian cape, heir to Antiquity (Caesar's favourite wine). Nero d'Avola is the signature red: sun-drenched with intense black cherry, blackberry, plum, liquorice, cocoa, gentle spices and a balsamic touch, polished tannins and an enveloping palate. Nocera as a structured native complement. Grillo with citrus tension, Catarratto and Inzolia as fresh whites.
The wine region of Sicily
Major qualitative renewal. Sunny, expressive reds: fleshy, spicy Nero d'Avola (black cherry, blackberry, liquorice), fine, mineral Nerello Mascalese on Etna (recalls Pinot Noir), light, crisp Frappato in Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG. Lively, saline whites: Catarratto, fat, iodised Grillo, taut Carricante, floral Inzolia. Amber, walnutty fortified Marsala.
The word of the wine: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
