This elegant and powerful blend is created from a union of \u003cstrong\u003eNerello Mascalese\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eNerello Cappuccio\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, offering a deep and rich sensory profile. On the nose, intense notes of red fruits emerge, intertwined with hints of graphite, \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic dust\u003c\/strong\u003e and balsamic nuances. On the palate, it is enveloping and long, supported by velvety tannins that guide the sip towards a delicately savoury and persistent finish, a true liquid expression of its chosen terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the renowned Contrada Santo Spirito in Passopisciaro, located on the northern slope of Etna, within the Natural Park. The vineyards stretch at 750 metres above sea level on ancient terraces supported by classic dry-stone walls made of lava stone. In this extreme environment, the roots of century-old \u003cstrong\u003eungrafted vines\u003c\/strong\u003e run deep, cultivated using the traditional bush-trained system supported by chestnut stakes. The soil, characterised by alternating black and brown \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic sands\u003c\/strong\u003e and effusive rocks, combined with high planting density and low \u003cstrong\u003eyield per hectare\u003c\/strong\u003e, imparts a pronounced mineral identity and a precise flavour profile to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins in mid-October with a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, involving careful selection of the bunches directly on the vine to preserve the highest quality. In the winery, the transformation of the must takes place through fermentation activated by indigenous yeasts, accompanied by prolonged maceration inside rotating \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. After completing malolactic fermentation, the wine undergoes a slow \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in oak\u003c\/strong\u003e for twenty-four months, followed by a further period of rest to harmonise the overall structure. This meticulous approach consolidates the aromatic depth and defines a technical profile designed to encourage significant \u003cstrong\u003eevolution over time\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prefillossera Etna DOC Rosso originates in Contrada Santo Spirito, within a volcanic area of inestimable value, protected by UNESCO. Here, the Palmento Costanzo winery preserves \u003cstrong\u003ecentury-old ungrafted vines\u003c\/strong\u003e, expertly cultivated as bush vines on historic lava stone terraces. The grapes, meticulously hand-picked to enhance the essence of this extreme terroir, ensure a limited yield of absolute organic excellence.
