Mortellito is tucked away in the corner of Sicily that owner Dario Serrintino refers to as "a desert next to the beach." Dario attributes the limestone coast as the key to producing elegant wines with "tension, freshness, and complex salinity." Cala Niuru is made with macerated Frappato and Nero d'Avola. Total fermentation time is 15-20 days, aged 6 months in steel. Look no further for your next chillable red!
