A native vine from the slopes of Etna, its origins are lost in the mists of time. It is traditionally grown between 350 and 1000 meters above sea level in the form of a small tree , but today also as a spurred cordon. Its name is due to the fact that for centuries it has been grown in the area of ​​the County of Mascali on land consisting, for the most part, of volcanic sand. Another cultivation area, also rich in structures that produce local wine is that of Passopisciaro, Trecastagni, Biancavilla, Viagrande and others. Its grapes have a characteristic oblong shape and are light red in color. It ripens very late and its harvest is carried out between the second and third week of October. The wines produced with this vine have a high alcohol content (13-14°) and very often, but not always, intended for long aging. The wines produced from the vinification of this vine have a great variability depending on the cultivation area. In fact, Nerello Mascalese, like other noble vines (Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir), has a notable sensitivity to the vintage and the territory of origin.
