Hauner Salina Rosso IGT, Sicily 2015

Hauner's entry-level red is 60% Nero d'Avola and 40% Nerello Mascalese, both native varieties from espalier-trained vineyards at Salina and Vulcano, northeasterly exposed. The ample, rich bouquet of black cherries and blackberries, with spicy and toasted notes of vanilla, licorice and carob beans is confirmed on the lush, full, well balanced palate, with silky texture and layered, intense and persistent flavors.
