Nuzzella is a small, organic estate on the slopes of Mount Etna, founded in 2014 by Nicola Oteri and his wife Norma. Working abandoned vineyards back to life, they farm native varieties by hand and without chemicals, aiming to capture the raw energy and minerality of Etna’s volcanic soils.
Not rose, but rosato—wildly delicious, but as serious as Christopher Walken. Made from two picks, one on 1 Sep for crispness, the next on 1 Oct for ripeness, it breathes freely during barrel ferment imbuing a generous texture. It then slumbers in stainless for nine months before bottling. 750ml of pure joy.
