Tornatore Trimarchisa Etna Rosso DOC 2018

An Etna Rosso DOC from the Trimarchisa contrada, made by Tornatore from Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grown on lava soils with calcareous sediments at Verzella, in Castiglione di Sicilia. The vines are over 40 years old. Fermentation takes place in truncated-cone wooden vats, followed by more than a year in wooden barrels and concrete tanks. The wine is ruby red, with a complex, intense nose of dark berry fruit, sour cherry, aromatic herbs, spice and sweet wood. On the palate it is full and concentrated, warm and fruity, balanced by tannins, freshness and sapidity. It is suggested with meat dishes such as roast pork, beef stew and chicken cacciatore.
