Profile:
Bright ruby-red
Underbrush, wild berry, blue flower, camphor and wet stone aromas
Bright acidity keeps it beautifully balanced, and a tangy mineral note graces the close

What’s In It: 100% Nerello Mascalese
How It Was Made:
A typical Etnean vineyard composed of 99 terraces with Nerello Mascalese vines. The
ventilation, exposure, and particular altitude cause a slow ripening cycle with harvest time
around the first ten days of November. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tank, followed by
aging in 25 hl Slavonian oak barrels. It is a wine with a light ruby color that stands out for its
floral notes on the nose and finesse on the palate. The soft tannins provide a long and complex
finish.
