Etna Rosso DOC Calderara Sottana 2020 - Ayunta

This is an Etna Rosso DOC red wine from Ayunta, made solely from Nerello Mascalese grown in the Calderara Sottana vineyard, where some vines are over a century old. After hand harvesting, fermentation takes place in steel with a long maceration on the skins, followed by 15 months' ageing in wood. It is a full-bodied red to pair with red meat and game dishes. In the glass it shows a ruby red colour with garnet reflections. The nose offers ripe red fruit, macerated flowers, graphite and spice, while the palate is warm and full-bodied, lifted by vibrant acidity and a savoury finish.
