Unique style, with emblematic aromatic complexity, the perfect maturity of this wine reflects the authenticity of Nerello Mascalese, the undisputed prince red grape variety of the Etna area.
Brilliant ruby ​​colour, the nose reveals a remarkable personality: decisive and sophisticated, vertical, it expresses a corollary of fragrances of undergrowth, red fruits and a seductive spice wrapped in fine balsamic notes. In the mouth it is soft and powerful, supported by a good persistence that turns towards tertiary notes, giving sensations of small red fruit combined with a very pleasant freshness. A wine with great structure that promises great longevity, capable of vertically and authentically reflecting its Terroir of choice, bringing all the power of the Etna territory into the glass.
