Description

The Etna Rosso of the Contrada Monte Gorna line of Nicosia is born in vineyards located on the western side of the largest volcano in Europe.

It is mainly produced with Nerello Mascalese grapes and Nerello Cappuccio grapes, harvested and selected by hand between the second and third week of October. Fermentation takes place, with maceration, in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 10 days. After a first passage in steel, the wine ages for 5-6 months in French oak barrels, for 3-4 months in large barrels and for another 3-4 months in the bottle before being placed on the market.

This Etna Rosso is characterized by a pale ruby red color. The nose opens with an intense vinous aroma, with elegant notes of red fruit, spices and licorice. On the palate it is dry and robust, with a balsamic aftertaste and a pleasantly persistent finish.

Perfect in combination with red meats and grilled red meats, it is ideal in combination with medium-long-aged cheeses.
