Etna Rosso CONTRADA SANTO SPIRITO DOC BIO BAGLIO DI PIANETTO

The Etna Rosso Contrada Santo Spirito DOC BIO of the Baglio di Pianetto winery is made from Nerello Mascalese grapes grown organically on the northern slope of Etna, in the Contrada Santo Spirito, in the Passopisciaro area. The vineyards are located on sandy soils of volcanic origin, rich in minerals, at around 700-850 metres above sea level. Harvesting is done manually during the second ten days of October. After careful selection of the grapes, fermentation takes place in steel at a controlled temperature for about ten days. The wine subsequently ages in a large barrel for twelve months, with a further steel pass before being bottled.
