From the slopes of Mount Etna, structured with red fruit flavours and distinct volcanic smokiness. Made from very fine Nerello Mascalese (roughly 98%) and Nerello Cappuccio (roughly 2%) from low yielding vineyards, both young and old.
The grapes are macerated until the end of fermentation. The wine then continues its life in wood until bottled roughly one year after harvest. Even young it is a distinguished wine. Fresh, fragrant, beautifully slender and with a fine grip, it has a natural polish, a stage presence as it were. And in ageing, it develops rich complexity.
