From the sun-drenched island of Sicily and the talented Andrea Bernardini, Saserello Rosso is a flavor-packed sensation. Previous vintages have a lengthy award pedigree and it’s a BIG customer favorite.
It’s a ‘Super Sicilian’ take on the sought-after ‘Super Tuscan’ style that’s popular, and significantly more expensive, up north. The grapes are grown on Sicily’s rocky coast (the name Saserello is derived from sassi, which means ‘stones’).
What’s so ‘Super’ about it? The addition of international Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah to Italian native star Sangiovese. In western Sicily, the mineral-rich soils impart deep, complex flavors to Cabernet and Merlot; meanwhile, Syrah and Sangiovese are grown in nearby coastal vineyards, which gives them a “new world” ripeness.
Look forward to mouthfuls of sun-baked dark fruit, spicy black pepper and toasty vanilla. It’s a tasty partner for hearty red and game meats, rich vegetarian dishes and full-flavored cheeses.
As always, our Italian wine fans will be racing to get this bestseller in their wine racks. Hurry for your share.
