Tasting note
Aromas of wild cherry, raspberry and blood orange, layered with volcanic minerality and Mediterranean herbs. Elegant and vibrant, the palate combines fine tannins, bright acidity and a long, savoury finish with hints of spice and crushed stone.
Viticulture
In the unique terroir of Etna, vineyards are planted 600 to 800 metres above sea level. The training systems used are the controspalliera and alberello and the density is 5000 to 10000 plants per hectare.
Vinification
The grapes are picked into crates and refrigerated at once at 10° before being selected by hand. After destemming and crushing, they ferment at 25° for 12 days with two mixing over each day. After about 18 days they are pressed with a vertical press. Maturation in barriques previously used 2 or 3 times for about 6 months.
