Etna Rosso DOC - Roccianera - Montedolce 2018

The Etna Rosso DOC "Roccianera" produced by Montedolce winery is a specimen of rare elegance and strength that reflects the unique terroir of Mount Etna. The harvest year sees a careful selection of grapes, usually predominantly composed of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, native varieties that find their fullest expression on the mineral-rich volcanic soils.

The color of this wine is a deep ruby red, with hues that tend to garnet with aging. On the nose, the Etna Rosso "Roccianera" offers a complex bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruit, sweet spices, and a slight nuance of tobacco and chocolate, deriving from the months spent in oak barrels.

On the palate, the wine is structured and well-balanced. The acidity is lively, typical of Etna wines, which perfectly complements the soft and enveloping tannins. The finish is persistent and leaves a pleasant sensation of freshness, with a return of the spicy and fruity notes detected on the nose.

Ideal for pairing with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, the Etna Rosso DOC "Roccianera" is also an excellent companion for an evening of meditation. Its structure and complexity make it a wine that can be enjoyed immediately, but which will evolve magnificently if left to rest in the cellar for a few years.

In conclusion, the Etna Rosso DOC "Roccianera" from Montedolce winery is a wine that speaks the language of its territory, offering those who taste it a sensory experience that is rich and deeply connected to the land of Sicily.
