Flavor Profile

Beyond the label

From the sun-drenched island of Sicily and world-class Italian winemaking family, the Barbaneras, Saserello is a flavor-packed sensation. In addition to its lengthy award pedigree—including a 96-point score from critic Luca Maroni for the 2020 release—it’s also a BIG customer favorite.

It’s a ‘Super Sicilian’ take on the sought-after ‘Super Tuscan’ style that’s popular, and significantly more expensive, up north. The grapes are grown on Sicily’s rocky coast (the name Saserello is derived from sassi, which means ‘stones’), and for the blend, there’s no set recipe. The family simply tastes and re-tastes until it’s perfect. And based on its popularity, their approach works!

What’s so ‘Super’ about it? The addition of international Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah to Italian native star Sangiovese. In Menfi, on Sicily’s east coast, the mineral-rich soils impart deep, complex flavors to Cabernet and Merlot. And over at their seaside estate in Sciacca, sun-worshipping Syrah and Sangiovese thrive. The hot sun and warm sea breezes give the fruit a pleasing, ‘full-throated’ ripeness—all made deliciously smooth by a six-month slumber in fine American oak.

Look forward to mouthfuls of sun-baked dark fruit, spicy black pepper and toasty vanilla. It’s a tasty partner for hearty red and game meats, rich vegetarian dishes and full-flavored cheeses.

As always, our Italian wine fans will be racing to get this bestseller in their wine racks. Hurry for your share.
