Tasting Notes
"An extraordinary Etna Rosso from ungrafted, pre-phylloxera vines planted before the devastating phylloxera epidemic of the late 1800s. These ancient vines produce wines of remarkable complexity and terroir expression. Elegant red fruit of pomegranate and blood orange mingles with volcanic minerality, dried herbs, and savory notes. Medium to full-bodied with fine, dusty tannins and electric acidity characteristic of high-altitude volcanic soils. The finish shows impressive length with notes of lava rock, wild fennel, and citrus zest. A wine of exceptional historical pedigree and profound sense of place."
