Description
It comes from Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes, grown on the volcanic Etna slopes. Here, the sandy soil of lava origin and the strong temperature range between day and night-time make a highly strong personality wine, improving after 12 months’ barrique.
The result is an intense wine, characterised by red ruby colour with garnet shades, an intensely wine scent and a pleasantly full-bodied wine, which perfectly marries red meat and game.
