Nerello Mascalese DOC - Etna Rosato - Donnafugata 2020

The Nerello Mascalese DOC - Etna Rosato by Donnafugata captures the essence of Etna's volcanic terroir with a refinement that only Nerello Mascalese grapes can offer. The uniqueness of this wine starts from the harvest, which is carried out manually in the early hours of the morning to preserve the freshness of the grapes. The color is a soft and delicate pink, almost representing the gentle dawns of the Etna landscape.

On the nose, this Etna Rosato surprises with the complexity of its aromas: notes of small berries, such as wild strawberries and raspberries, intertwine with floral nuances and a light touch of spices. Steel aging maintains and amplifies the purity of the fruit, while a brief skin maceration extracts color and aromas without compromising the structure.

On the palate, the Nerello Mascalese DOC - Etna Rosato by Donnafugata reveals extraordinary freshness, supported by lively acidity which balances perfectly with a pronounced minerality, typical of the volcanic influence. The aromatic persistence is notable, leaving a pleasantly fruity and slightly spicy aftertaste.

This rosé is ideal for pairing with light fish dishes or white meats, but also with fresh goat cheeses. Its versatility makes it perfect for enjoying as an aperitif, where its freshness invites a second glass. This wine represents a tribute to the land of Sicily and its unique biodiversity, praised for its ability to genuinely and elegantly tell the story of a timeless terroir.
