Leírás
A Nerello Mascalese szőlőfajtából készült bor gyönyörűen megmutatja az Etna vulkanikus talajának egyedülálló adottságait. A szőlő egy biológiai sokféleségben gazdag területről, gesztenye- és tölgyfákkal körülvett gyönyörű teraszról származik.
Nagyon jól iható, gyümölcsökben gazdag bisztró stílusú vörösbor, frissességgel és lágy tanninokkal. A Nerello Mascalese szőlőfajtánál jól bevált, nagy, 1200 literes horvát tölgyfahordóban érlelődött egy évig.
