The history of Etna is dotted with historical eruptions that have shaped its shape. Legendary that of 1614, which lasted 10 years, the longest of all time, stopped right on the border of the Sciaranuova vineyards. A strongly evocative name for our Cru dell'Etna based on Nerello Mascalese. Black soils at high altitude give an elegant, fine and balanced style.
Today Nerello Mascalese is certainly one of the richest reds in charm, territorial expressiveness, as well as being endowed with great elegance and longevity over time, Etna is its throne and outside its borders it is hard to feel at ease.
Production area: Sambuca di Sicilia (AG), Siclia Grape variety and vinification: Nerello Mascalese. Low production yield (about 70 Qli / Ha). When the grapes reach maturity, the shoots are cut and a partial process of withering on the vine begins. When a weight reduction of 15-20% is achieved, the grapes are harvested, pressed and fermentation begins in contact with the skins. After a very long maceration, the wine is decanted into barriques where it rests for about 6 months. Color and combination: Red. Perfect with Mediterranean appetizers and first courses based on eggplant or mushrooms, meat and roast stew.
