Pairing Red meats, aged cheeses, typical Sicilian dishes

The Nerello Mascalese Etna Rosso DOC produced by Masseria Setteporte is a wine that elegantly embodies the typical characteristics of the volcanic terroir of Etna. This red wine is primarily made with Nerello Mascalese grapes, known for their refined aromatic expression and balanced structure.

The color is a vibrant ruby red with garnet reflections, typical of wines matured on the island of Sicily. On the nose, Masseria Setteporte's Nerello Mascalese presents a complex bouquet featuring notes of ripe red fruits, hints of spices, and a slight smokiness, a legacy of the volcanic soil in which it is cultivated. On the palate, it offers a full and enveloping taste, with well-balanced tannins and a persistent finish.

Excellent to serve with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, this wine is also an excellent candidate for aging. A true gem that tells the unique story of its volcanic origin, ideal for wine lovers seeking character and identity.
