DESCRIPTION
We are on the northern side of the Etna in Sicily, a particularly gifted region for the production of red wines. Think of Barolo, Bourgogne or Barbaresco in terms of greatness...but with its own identity. The aromas of this wine are fine and vivid thanks to the flavours of violet, bergamot, shrubland, wet stone, and hints of white pepper. On the palate, it is both succulent and patient, with delicate tannins. The finish is strong and tasty. This wine should be paired with arancini, Basque-style chicken and ratatouille.
REGION
Sicily
Italy
Sicily is one of the largest and most dynamic wine regions in Italy. Bathed in sun, caressed by sea breezes and sculpted by volcanic terrain, the island gives wines with a strong Mediterranean personality, combining generous fruit, natural freshness and great elegance.
Three signature red grapes reign here: Nero d'Avola, intense and structured; Frappato, all about aromatic finesse; and Nerello Mascalese, the star grape of Etna, known for its mineral, refined wines.
Sicily also stands out for its pioneering commitment to sustainable, ethical winemaking, with a high share of estates converted to organic or biodynamic farming.

Nice minerality, very typical of volcanic terroir.
