Zabu Il Passo Nerello Mascalese

The crown jewel of the Vigneti Zabu range, a very large wine cooperative in southern Italy. A cooperative simply means that many winegrowers work together and jointly market their wines internationally. The quality is often surprisingly high, because a cooperative often owns many hectares of vineyards. This allows for the selection of the finest grapes. This is certainly the case with Il Passo Nerello Mascalese Zabu. The finest grapes are grown in Sicily and harvested, selected, and fermented by Vigneti Zabu. The result is impressive: one of the finest wines in this price range.

The Trial of Il Passo Nerello Mascalese Zabu

Il Passo Nerello Mascalese Zabu is made of 85% Nerello Mascalese and 15% Nero d'Avola. Before pressing, the grapes are lightly dried, a technique Vigneti Zabu borrowed from the Amarone region. Because the grapes are dried before pressing, the juice becomes much more intense and concentrated. While there is less juice, the quality is all the higher. Finally, Il Passo Nerello Mascalese Zabu is lightly aged for six months in French and American oak barrels. This gives the wine even more character. All of this combined makes this a perfect wine from the beautiful island of Sicily.
