Grape Varietals & Region: Nerello Mascalese & Nerello Cappuccio from the single vineyard site of Calderara. Known as one of the top cru in Mt Etna with a unique type of soil – a mixture of black pumice and basalt, the result of thousands of years of lava flows and volcanic deposits.
Taste Profile: A pristine expression of nerello mascalese from the northern part of Etna. It has a perfumed aroma, with notes of grapefruit, brambleberries, savory spices, wild herbs and flowers. It’s also aromatic, harmonious, complex and poised.
Winemaking Process: Destemmed and macerated for 15-20 days in concrete tanks, with daily punching down. They are subsequently drawn off and pressed. The wine thus obtained is aged in wooden barrels for 18 months before being bottled.
WINES FROM UNIQUE REGIONS & BOUTIQUE WINERIES
