Nerello is a grape, or rather a pair of grapes, native to Sicily. The two Nerello brothers are Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio. The Oxford Guide to Wine has very little to say about either Nerello, other than that they are usually used in blending. However, Etna Rosso is a DOC designation that involves blending the two together to produce a (potentially) lovely Sicilian wine.
