Spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeasts, it reveals a clear ruby colour and intense aromas of redcurrant, wild blueberry and blood orange. On the palate, it is smooth and elegant, supported by light and lively tannins that lead into a distinct flinty mineral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProvenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine comes from the Cubito plot in Passopisciaro, on the northern slopes of Mount Etna. The vineyards are located at an altitude of six hundred metres, sheltered from the scirocco wind and benefiting from high diurnal temperature variations. This climate allows for slow ripening, keeping the aromatic freshness intact. The character of the terroir emerges thanks to the historic \u003cstrong\u003ecentury-old pre-phylloxera vines\u003c\/strong\u003e and careful \u003cstrong\u003emassal selection\u003c\/strong\u003e, which give the grapes great depth and enhance the intense \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic vocation\u003c\/strong\u003e of the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinemaking aims to enhance the elegance of the grapes by minimising intervention in the cellar. The must undergoes \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Subsequent maturation involves \u003cstrong\u003eageing in barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and steel for twenty-four months, allowing the wine to reach its ideal balance. The process concludes with six months of \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e, which defines a sharp profile and ensures a refined gustatory harmony with a subtle texture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosso di Mezzo is born in the Cubito plot in Passopisciaro, at an altitude of 600 metres on the slopes of Mount Etna.
