Aromatically the wine is full of just barely ripe red fruit flavors with cherries and cranberries. On the palate the wine is pleasantly crunchy with bright acidity and hints of orange zest and tart red fruit.
Winemaker Notes
The result of the interaction between Nerello Mascalese and Etna’s volcanic soils, this wine is conceived on terraces surrounded by chestnut and downy oak groves in a richly biodiverse area. Soft tannins, good freshness and drinkability. Aged in noninvasive large Slavonian oak barrels, just as Nerello Mascalese requires.
