On the nose, it reveals distinct aromas of cherry, incense, hibiscus and wild fennel, accompanied by subtle hints of beeswax. On the palate, it is smooth and flowing, characterised by notes of wild berries and currants supported by \u003cstrong\u003edense tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e. The tasting concludes with an unmistakable saline touch. Boasting excellent \u003cstrong\u003eageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e, this red offers its best interpretation when served between sixteen and eighteen degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the Castiglione di Sicilia area, where the vineyards thrive on the slopes of Etna at altitudes between 510 and 810 metres. The roots of the vines sink into \u003cstrong\u003eblack volcanic soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, made up of lava sands rich in minerals and surrounded by dense woods. Several plots extend directly over the \u003cstrong\u003ehistoric lava flow\u003c\/strong\u003e from the long seventeenth-century eruption, an event that reshaped the landscape. The interaction between the high altitude and the unique nature of the soil gives the grapes a marked \u003cstrong\u003enatural savouriness\u003c\/strong\u003e, enhancing the vines cultivated using the bush and spur-pruned cordon methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvesting takes place in October, with immediate \u003cstrong\u003ecooling of the grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e to preserve their freshness and integrity. After manual selection and destemming, fermentation begins in steel tanks, with a twenty-one day maceration on the skins and gentle pumping over. After malolactic fermentation, the wine continues to mature with careful \u003cstrong\u003eageing in oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for about twelve to fourteen months. This period in wood shapes an impeccable \u003cstrong\u003earomatic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, delivering a clear and taut mountain expression in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the longest eruption of Mount Etna, this fascinating wine celebrates the power of the volcano. The \u003cstrong\u003eNerello Mascalese\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes take root at high altitude in \u003cstrong\u003eblack volcanic soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the glass an elegant structure and an enticing saline note.
