Etna Rosso DOC Trimarchisa 2017 Tornatore

Etna Rosso Trimarchisa is produced with Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes from vines with an average age of 40 years.

With vineyards located on a lava flow in Trimarchisa and the harvest carried out in mid-October, the grapes are harvested manually and transported to the cellar for further selection. After maceration in cone-shaped vats for at least 10 days and undergoing regular punching down during fermentation, a post-fermentation phase follows with further maceration before racking into 25 hl barrels for 18 months of aging and a further 6 months in the bottle.

Ruby red in color with violet reflections, it brings back to the nose hints of blackberry, black cherry and a light toasting followed by Mediterranean herbs and sweet spices such as cinnamon and cloves. Generous and broad palate, it retains soft tannins and a strong structure that anticipate a complex and persistent taste.

Ideal with roasts and elaborate first courses, it goes well with grilled suckling pig and game.
