Immerse yourself in the nobility of Etna with Etna Rosso Riserva, a fine expression of volcanic terroir. Grown on Etna’s northern slope, Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio vines, ripened at an altitude of 800 meters on mineral-rich soils, give birth to this extraordinary wine. With an average age of 80 years, vineyards rooted in the alberello training system merge tradition and innovation in winemaking. Aging in Slavonian oak barrels followed by a period in bottle enhances the unique qualities of this reserve, offering the palate a rich and harmonious experience of intense and persistent flavors, perfectly balanced by fine tannin and a savory finish.
