I remember the first time I tried this wine. I was so excited to try this Etna native grape in all its glory and purity because it is not often vinified alone. The 2012 Nerello Cappuccio has undergone a package restyling. You might remember that it was once called Il Monovitigno. That name has been dropped and the front label has been made to appear more elegant and stylish. It's also now an IGT Terre Siciliane. The grape offers whiffs of freshly milled white pepper, forest floor and forest berry. It shows softer tannins (compared to Nerello Mascalese) and a more approachable style.
