Don’t Mess With This Sicilian!
This Nerello Mascalese is a well-priced red that is definitely worth checking out. Pasta? Pizza? Cheese? This 2020 Zabu Il Passo will go with them all!
This wine is made in Western Sicily in a passimento style where the grapes that are left on the vines after being harvested from 15 - 20 days - this makes a very flavourful, rich wine.
