Aroma: dark cherry, dried rose, volcanic mineral, incense
Palate: pomegranate, iron, graphite, fine tannins
Di Me (meaning 'of me' or 'for me') is Palmento Costanzo's prestige expression: single-vineyard Nerello Mascalese from the oldest vines in the Santo Spirito contrada, displaying the estate's most complex mineral and structural character.
What it pairs with
-
Braised lamb shoulder with Sicilian herbs
Complex mineral depth and firm structure frame the slow-cooked herb lamb. -
Mushroom and herb risotto
Volcanic earthiness and incense notes create a harmonious dialogue with mushroom risotto. -
Aged Ragusano DOP with honey
The wine's mineral-iron character elevates the sweet-sharp combination of aged Ragusano with honey.
History
Di Me was created from the estate's oldest Nerello Mascalese vines in the heart of the Santo Spirito contrada. Introduced in 2014 to represent the highest expression of Palmento Costanzo's organic north-slope philosophy, the wine is produced only in exceptional vintages and aged significantly longer than the Mofete range.
