"Obtained from Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese grapes cultivated on the island of Salina, it is an intense ruby wine, with a fruity aftertaste, it has hints of morello and wild cherry. The bouquet brings the fragrance of the wild flowers in the mediterranean scrub. Perfectly balanced, it can support a few years of aging. Excellent meat and cheese dishes with a distinctive taste." —winemaker Wine Anthology Team Review-A wonderful entry from the Colosi family, this juicy and easy drinking red shows just what a red from this area can be capable of. Boasting savory Unami flavor on the finish, this bottle would be an excellent addition with Veal Marsala. A must try! |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2018 Rosso Salina, an equal-parts blend of Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese, has a distinctly Mediterranean flair. Notes of woodland berries, sage, white pepper, salty sea air and animal musk keep you coming back to the glass. It’s silky in texture with ripe red and blue fruits complemented by saline-minerality and juicy acids. There’s a lingering inner sweetness that punctuates the experience nicely, as this finishes up refreshing with hints of raspberry and spice. Colosi has packed a lot of character and pleasure into this easy-drinking and value-oriented red." —Vinous |
