Wine description

Etna Rosso Superiore Contrada Villagrande is a wine obtained mainly with 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mantellato grapes, grown in the company's vineyards located in Milo Contrada Villagrande, Catania, 700 meters above sea level. After the harvest, we proceed with the fermentation in steel for about 10 days, and aging in 500-liter chestnut barrels for 24 months. The wine is bottled and aged in glass for one year.

 

Characteristics of this  Etna Rosso "Contrada Villagrande" Doc

Upon organoleptic examination, this Sicilian wine shows a bright and fluid ruby red colour; on the nose floral aromas and fresh fruit from the undergrowth harmonize with balsamic and herbaceous notes. In the mouth, the balance between acidity and tannin is striking on the one hand, fruit and minerality on the other. Fine and persistent.
