Nuzzella was founded in 2014 when Nicola Oteri and his wife Norma purchased an old olive grove and vineyard planted to native varieties of Nerello Mascalese and Carricante. Thus began the difficult and exciting work of recovering the 4ha of abandoned land.
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.
