Neri Etna Rosso Contrada Arrigo 2024

Neri Etna Rosso Contrada Arrigo 2024 is a compelling expression of Nerello Mascalese from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, one of Italy’s most distinctive wine regions. It combines elegance, lift, and mineral depth with the character that has made Etna Rosso one of Sicily’s most exciting red wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby color with a translucent, graceful appearance rather than dense power. The nose leans toward red cherry, wild strawberry, blood orange, dried herbs, and a subtle smoky, volcanic edge. On the palate, it is usually sleek and finely structured, with lively acidity, firm but polished tannins, and a savory mineral finish. The style tends to be more about precision and tension than richness, with good potential to develop additional complexity over a few years in bottle.

Production
This wine comes from Contrada Arrigo, a site on Etna where volcanic soils, altitude, and large day-to-night temperature shifts help preserve freshness and aromatic detail in Nerello Mascalese. Fruit is typically harvested by hand, with careful selection to protect the delicacy and purity of the grapes. Vinification is generally focused on gentle extraction and preserving terroir character, allowing the vineyard’s mineral, smoky, and herbal nuances to come through clearly.

Food & Serving
A great match for roast lamb, grilled tuna, mushroom risotto, charcuterie, and Sicilian-inspired dishes with herbs, tomato, or eggplant. Serve slightly cool, ideally around 16–18°C, and consider a short decant if opening it young to help the aromas open up.

Producer
Neri is a producer closely associated with the volcanic terroir of Mount Etna, where the focus is on showcasing the elegance and complexity of native varieties like Nerello Mascalese. The estate is part of the wave of modern Etna wineries that has helped bring international attention to the region’s unique reds. Its wines are recognized for combining purity, site expression, and a strong sense of place.
