Description

  • French oak
  • Red fruits
  • Liquorice
  • Refined tannins

Ruby red with garnet highlights due to ageing. Expressive and elegant on the nose with notes of red fruit, herbs, spices and liquorice. Warm, robust and lingering with a pleasant balsamic finish.

The famous native Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes grown on high-elevation volcanic slopes of Mount Etna produce a rich and complex wine with a great minerality and flavoursome aromas such as red fruit, herbs, spices and liquorice. On the palate, this volcanic wine is well-balanced, with refined tannins and a long balsamic finish.

Wine was fermented for approximately 10-15 days at a controlled temperature (24-26°C). Aged Mainly in stainless steel vats, 50% of the wine stays 5-6 months in barrique and 5-6 months in large oak casks; the ageing is completed by a stay of 6 months in the bottle.

Food Pairing: flavourful pasta dishes, roasted game, grilled meats and semi-aged cheeses.
