Feudo Montoni Sicilia Nerello Mascalese Rosé di Adele – 2018 – The Wine Advocate – 90 Points
Opening to a pretty pale-pink color, the 2018 Sicilia Nerello Mascalese Rose di Adele is a delicate and fine wine with aromas of wild raspberry, violets and Sicilian almond blossom. This is a compact and lean wine with a steely and linear finish. Pair this Southern Italian rosato with spicy curry shrimp.
