The Eduardo Torres Acosta 2020 Nerello Mascalese Versante Nord reveals slightly more concentration and darker fruit that some of the other releases from this talented producer. Versante Nord shows a bigger span of dark fruit aromas with wild plum and cherry. The medium-lean finish is just a little bit softer and more open-knit, giving this wine accessibility.
