The wine "Le Sabbie dell'Etna" Rosato, produced by the renowned Firriato winery, is a true expression of the volcanic terroir of Sicily. This wine is crafted primarily from Nerello Mascalese grapes, an indigenous variety from the Etna region, with subtle nuances added through the integration of Nerello Cappuccio plants.
The color of this rosé is a delicate pale pink reminiscent of the petals of a freshly bloomed rose. On the nose, it offers an intensely aromatic bouquet, intertwining notes of fresh red fruits such as strawberries and cherries, along with slight floral undertones. The contact with the volcanic soil enriches the wine with a very distinctive mineral complexity, typical of the Etnean terrain.
On the palate, "Le Sabbie dell'Etna" Rosato reveals itself to be fresh and balanced. The acidity is well-balanced and contributes to a pleasantly persistent sip, leaving behind hints of mature red fruit and an elegant mineral aftertaste. Its structure is refined and well-defined, making it an ideal companion for a variety of dishes, from Mediterranean cuisine to fish dishes, as well as light appetizers and aromatic salads.
Producing wines on volcanic soil is a challenge that Firriato embraces with enthusiasm, managing to capture the essence of Etna in every bottle. Every sip of this rosé is a tribute to the powerful nature of Etna and its indomitable beauty. An excellent choice for those who wish to explore the typicality of high-quality rosé wines produced in unique environments.
