This area is unique in the world wine scene for its mineral-rich volcanic soil and the altitude of the vineyards, which give the wines a distinctive freshness and complexity.
Palmento Costanzo stands out for its commitment to the production of wines that express the character and identity of the Etna terroir. "Mofete" in particular, takes its name from the geothermal phenomena characteristic of Etna, reflecting the profound connection between wine and its environment of origin. The winery adopts sustainable practices and a respectful approach towards the landscape and biodiversity of Etna, aiming to convey the essence of the territory into the glass.
The vinification of "Mofete" Rosso follows a careful process aimed at preserving the aromatic and gustatory qualities of the vines. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel containers to maintain the freshness and purity of the fruit, followed by a period of refinement which can vary depending on the vintage, helping to enhance the structure and complexity of the wine without overloading the delicate varietal aromas.
At sight, the wine has a brilliant ruby red color, with reflections that tend towards garnet with evolution. On the nose, "Mofete" offers a rich and inviting bouquet, with notes of red and black fruits, dried flowers, aromatic herbs, and a marked minerality, reminiscent of earth and lava stone. These olfactory characteristics are typical of the wines produced on the Etna volcano and testify to the unique composition of the soil in which the vineyards grow.
In the mouth, the wine stands out for its elegant tannic structure and lively acidity which supports its freshness and dynamism. The flavors are a faithful reflection of the aromatic bouquet, with a long persistence that leaves room for mineral and spicy sensations in the finish.
Ideal in combination with meat-based dishes, in particular red meats and game, the "Mofete" Rosso is also an excellent companion for mature cheeses and dishes rich in Mediterranean flavours. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide variety of occasions, from the daily table to special moments.
The Etna DOC Rosso "Mofete" by Palmento Costanzo is a testimony to the excellence of Etna wines, which manage to capture and transmit the intensity and beauty of their territory, offering a tasting experience deeply linked to the land of origin .
