Made from \u003cstrong\u003eNerello Mascalese\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, it appears in the glass as an intense ruby red with violet highlights. The bouquet is broad, with notes of small fruits, vanilla and a typical \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic hint\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, it is warm and robust, with an excellent \u003cstrong\u003estructural balance\u003c\/strong\u003e between acidity, tannic texture and smoothness. The dynamic finish elegantly accompanies red meats, pork, hare and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from Bocca d’Orzo, in Randazzo, on the slopes of Etna. The vines are cultivated using the traditional \u003cstrong\u003eEtnean bush vine\u003c\/strong\u003e system, with a density of eight thousand plants per hectare. The vineyard includes many \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e over sixty years old, rooted in volcanic soils. This habitat enjoys a cool and breezy climate, with strong temperature variations between day and night. The wine’s name pays homage to the Cirneco, a native Sicilian dog, symbolising the bond between strength and \u003cstrong\u003enatural elegance\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvesting takes place at the end of October. Terrazze dell’Etna carries out \u003cstrong\u003elong macerations\u003c\/strong\u003e to extract the best aromatic components. Afterwards, the wine matures for eighteen months in \u003cstrong\u003ewooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential step to smooth the tannins. This is followed by a further eighteen months of bottle ageing, ensuring excellent longevity over time. To fully appreciate its qualities, a brief \u003cstrong\u003edecanting\u003c\/strong\u003e is recommended and serving between eighteen and twenty degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cirneco from Terrazze dell’Etna originates in Bocca d’Orzo from \u003cstrong\u003egoblet-trained vines\u003c\/strong\u003e over sixty years old. Its name pays tribute to the native Sicilian hunting dog of the same name, whose elegance and untamed strength are reflected in the wine. Under the guidance of oenologist Riccardo Cotarella, the winemaking process is characterised by long, controlled macerations, followed by \u003cstrong\u003e18 months of ageing in wood\u003c\/strong\u003e and the same period in bottle.
