Nerello mascalese is a name given to a varieties of red wine grapes named after the Mascali area in Catania, that grown primarily in Sicily and Sardinia. It is grown mainly on the northeastern side of Sicily (near Mascali, where the grape is thought to have originated) and is thought to be superior in quality to the Nerello Cappuccio. While it can be used for blending, the grape is often made into varietal wine. The grape is believed to be an offspring of the Calabrian wine grape Mantonico bianco.
