A deep and vibrant red wine that captures the atmosphere of Etna

This wine is full of the elegance of Etna, born from meticulous selection and traditional vertical pressing. The pure aroma of red fruits and morello cherries spreads, and the supple tannins and rich flavor are in harmony. This red wine embodies northern Etna, with a light yet deep flavor that complements food while still retaining its own unique character.

On the palate, the wine stands out with its well-balanced tannins, as well as its surprising richness, umami, and length.

Vinification
The grapes are hand-picked in small wooden crates, immediately transported to the winery, hand-sorted on a conveyor belt, destemmed, and then transferred, still partially crushed, to concrete tanks where they are macerated for approximately 10-12 days at a temperature of 22-25°C.
After fermentation, the maceration continues for several days, after which the grapes are removed and pressed in a traditional vertical press.
Aging takes place in large barrels for approximately 6 months and in the bottle for 3 months.
