2021 Pinin – Nerello Mascalese (Terre Siciliane IGT)



2021 Pinin – Nerello Mascalese (Terre Siciliane IGT) Pinin is a tribute to Pippo Iuppa – the father of the founder. It is made from 120-year-old +, bush vines, some undetermined indigenous grapes, including ‘relic’ varieties. These relic varieties have been recovered with commitment and passion from an ancient vineyard found among the brambles in their vineyards. These vines are twisted saplings that have met the challenge of time and still give Iuppa the exclusivity of a rare and authentic product. Vigilant selection of the finest bunches, careful vinification adhering to traditional methods, and aging in ideal conditions are the focus of this project.
