Gustinella, Jungimmune Rosso, 2023

What is this wine?

Gustinella is a young, artisanal winery based in Sicily, founded by winemaker Francesco Carriglio with a focus on natural, terroir-driven wines. The Jungimmune line (“young immune”) highlights spontaneous, energetic expressions of local grapes farmed organically. Jungimmune Rosso 2023 is made from indigenous Sicilian varieties (primarily Nerello Mascalese with supporting grapes, depending on the vintage), fermented naturally with minimal intervention.

Why get this wine?

This is a vibrant, natural-style Sicilian red that combines authenticity with drinkability. The Jungimmune Rosso is meant to be lively, approachable, and expressive of its volcanic terroir, making it a great choice for fans of fresher, lighter reds. With very limited production, Gustinella’s wines are quickly gaining attention among natural wine lovers.

What does this wine taste like?

Bright red berries, sour cherry, and pomegranate with herbal and floral notes. The palate is fresh and crunchy, with gentle tannins and a salty, volcanic finish.

When should you drink this wine?

Best enjoyed young and vibrant—serve slightly chilled with charcuterie, pizza, or Mediterranean fare. Drink within 3–4 years of the vintage.
