About this winery

Product notes

Born on the northeastern slopes of the Sciara, formed by lava flows, a fertile terroir very rich in trace elements of volcanic origin. We are located at approximately 700 meters altitude, with Mount Etna proudly dominating the landscape, in a high mountain climate where temperature variations between day and night are significant.

Production notes

Handpicked with selection of thbunches. Vinification: manually harvested grapes are partially de-stemmed and fermented by the indigenous yeasts, with a 15 days maceration of the wine with the skins. The wine is aged for about 12 months in oak barrels, then it’s moved into a steel tank where it is decanted naturally and bottled without any clarification or filtration process

Tasting notes

On the nose, one perceives very fine and delicate notes of small red fruits, mineral nuances, wild aromatic herbs, and cloves. This Etna Rosso is a balanced and harmonious wine, of understated elegance, with a flavorful and lingering finish. Pairs well with pizza, pâtés, and red meats.
