This Sicilian red combines a solid structure with a pleasant smoothness. In the glass, it displays a pale ruby red colour, revealing clear aromas of wild strawberries, floral notes and a delicate spiciness. The palate is supported by lively freshness, ultra-fine tannins and a distinct \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic mineral imprint\u003c\/strong\u003e that gives the wine dynamism. The finish, savoury and \u003cstrong\u003elong-lasting\u003c\/strong\u003e, makes it perfect for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003egrilled red meats\u003c\/strong\u003e, robust first courses and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red originates in Contrada Pietrarizzo, from the vineyards of the \u003cstrong\u003eTornatore\u003c\/strong\u003e winery located in Castiglione di Sicilia, on the northern slope of \u003cstrong\u003eEtna\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vines, trained on trellises at seven hundred metres above sea level, benefit from \u003cstrong\u003esignificant temperature variations\u003c\/strong\u003e that favour excellent aromatic expression. The roots sink into \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, sandy and rocky, rich in slate and limestone. These conditions give the wine a vibrant \u003cstrong\u003egustatory tension\u003c\/strong\u003e and unmistakable savouriness, telling the story of a mountainous area cultivated with dedication since 1865.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest is carried out by hand in October, with careful selection of the bunches. The grapes, destemmed and partially crushed, are transferred to truncated conical wooden vats for fermentation, accompanied by a \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e of about ten to twelve days with frequent manual punch-downs. This is followed by pressing using a traditional vertical press. The wine then matures slowly through a long \u003cstrong\u003eageing process in barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and cement tanks, a fundamental process for shaping its structural finesse. A careful \u003cstrong\u003efinal resting period\u003c\/strong\u003e perfects its harmony, offering a red with an elegant profile and a clear territorial identity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEtna Rosso Pietrarizzo 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e embodies the volcanic soul of the Tornatore winery, whose noble winemaking tradition dates back to 1865. Produced in the evocative setting of Castiglione di Sicilia, this wine expresses the strength of the land thanks to hand-harvested grapes. Awarded the prestigious \u003cstrong\u003e3 Bicchieri Gambero Rosso\u003c\/strong\u003e, the wine matures in wooden and concrete barrels, then refines in the bottle to reveal an elegant structure, refined tannins and a \u003cstrong\u003emarked minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e. A masterpiece with surprising drinkability that pays homage to the great Sicilian viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cantine Tornatore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44632157847723,"sku":"53666","price":23.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/tornatore-etna-rosso-pietrarizzo-2021_53666_1_99b19a0c-c5d5-4638-a055-f611f5a41dce.webp?v=1773742886","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/tornatore-etna-rosso-pietrarizzo-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
