Etna Rosso DOC - Calarittu

Description: From old Nerello Mascalese vines cultivated as sapling on the east side of Etna at an altitude of 700m above sea level, Etna Rosso presents itself with a pleasing ruby color and a fruity, sweet aroma, where the hints of ripe fruit and spicy notes complement each other.

 Grapes: 98% Nerello Mascalese; 2% Nerello Cappuccio
 
Vinification: Soft pressing, cold static decantation and alcoholic fermentation in steel. The grapes remain on the skins for  14 days, 
with a pumping over and two punching down per day

Aging: Maturation in steel for 5 months and in wood for 18 months (Barique in French oak, 225lt oak barrels) . The wine lends itself to aging in the bottle, completing  its maturation.

Pairings: Fish and roast meat dishes

Serve at 14-16° C
