Grape variety: 100% Nerello Mascalese.
Grape origin: Vineyards in Contrada Muganazzi and Arcurìa, in the hamlet of Passopisciaro, municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia (CT), on the northern slope of Etna. Altitude of between 600 and 700 m above sea level.
Soil type: Grapes from vineyards grown on mineral-rich volcanic soils in the heart of Etna’s northern slope. The planting density is around 6,300 vines per hectare, in a setting marked by significant day-night temperature swings and a breezy climate that encourages slow, balanced ripening.
Winemaking: The grapes undergo slow pressing without destemming. Vinification takes place in stainless-steel tanks, a material that preserves the integrity and expressiveness of the fruit. No maceration.
Aging: The wine then matures on its fine lees for five months, gaining greater complexity, balance and depth of flavour.
In the glass: A pale pink colour with coppery reflections typical of the “onion-skin” hue. On the nose it offers delicate aromas of small red fruits, citrus such as mandarin, marine notes and aromatic herbs. On the palate it is fresh, savoury and elegant, with a fine, harmonious texture and a pleasant mineral finish.
