Mortellito
Tuttu, 2022
Red blend, Sicily
$48
In the glass
Strawberry, black cherry and a pinch of salt, from a little bit of every grape Dario Serrentino grows in Sicily's far south-east.
Tuttu is Sicilian for 'all', and that is the recipe. Near Pachino on Sicily's south-eastern tip, Dario Serrentino of Il Mortellito picks a little of every native grape he farms and ferments the reds and whites together. Three-quarters is Nero d'Avola; Frappato, Perricone, Grillo, Insolia and Catarratto share the rest. It drinks fleshy and bouncy rather than heavy. Currant and a flick of citrus over fine tannins.
