Taste
Pale ruby red in colour, this Etna Rosso opens with an elegant bouquet of red berries, spicy notes, and hints of underbrush. On the palate, you’ll find generous flavours of sour cherry, redcurrant, clove, and dried herbs, all wrapped in a refined structure. Silky, soft tannins and crisp acidity lead to a mouthwatering, persistent finish, while subtle mineral undertones nod to the volcanic soils of Mount Etna. The style is both fresh and smooth, suitable for pairing with charcuterie, cheeses, grilled meats, or even robust fish dishes.
