Nicosia 2022 Etna Rosso DOC "Contrada Monte San Nicolò"

A red wine from Nicosia, made exclusively from Nerello Mascalese grapes from the Contrada Monte San Nicolò vineyard, at about 550-600 metres above sea level on the south-eastern slope of the Sicilian volcano. The vines are bush-trained in the traditional way; after harvest the grapes ferment for 10-15 days at controlled temperature, and ageing takes place partly in steel, partly in barrique and tonneaux. It pairs with pasta with ragù and meat sauces, roasts and medium to long-aged cheeses. Intense ruby red; ripe red fruit, cherry in spirit and sweet spices on the nose; juicy, intense and long-lasting on the palate.
