Northern slope of the Etna volcano - Contrada Sciaranuova, Piano Dario, Rampante, Catania.
The perfect blend between the Nerello Mascalese grape and the volcanic soil of Etna, this wine comes from terraces surrounded by chestnut and oak woods, an area rich in biodiversity. Soft tannins, with freshness and drinkability. Aged in large non-invasive oak barrels to which the Nerello Mascalese variety is well suited.
Ratings
Good Nerello Mascalese from northern slope of Etna. Not demanding and quite friendly. Cherry, underbrush, thyme and gravel. Well balanced, but a little bit too heavy.
