This extraordinary Etna Rosso DOC comes from the volcanic slopes of the historic wine-growing region of Etna in Sicily, brought to light by the expertise of Giovanni Rosso, a winery known for its dedication to producing wines of exceptional quality.
The uniqueness of this wine begins with the soil: the volcanic soil, rich in minerals, contributes to infusing the wine with a unique complexity and minerality. The vines grow in a Mediterranean climate with significant temperature variations, a factor that promotes the development of intense aromas and considerable freshness in the wine.
Giovanni Rosso's Etna Rosso DOC is primarily made from Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes, indigenous varieties that beautifully express themselves in this region. This wine has a bright ruby red color. The nose offers an aromatic bouquet enriched with notes of ripe red fruits, delicate spices, and a light touch of smoke and wet earth, a legacy of its volcanic terroir.
On the palate, the Etna Rosso stands out for its elegant structure and well-integrated tannins. The balance between acidity and freshness makes it pleasantly persistent, with a finish that brings back the spicy notes encountered on the nose.
Suitable for aging, this wine can be enjoyed on its own or accompanied by rich dishes such as red meats, game, or aged cheeses. Its versatility makes it perfect also for accompanying a special evening or an important lunch.
Giovanni Rosso's Etna Rosso DOC represents an authentic expression of the volcanic Sicilian terroir, promising an unforgettable sensory experience for every wine enthusiast. A true gem to discover and to treasure in one's cellar.
