Description

Il Musmeci Riserva Speciale RS from Tenuta di Fessina is an emblematic Etna Rosso DOC Riserva, an authentic expression of the volcanic territory of Etna, in Sicily. This wine is made from Nerello Mascalese grapes, the emblematic variety of this fascinating area, which imparts elegance and structural complexity. Aging in oak barrels gives the wine a rich and intricate aromatic texture, with enveloping notes and significant persistence.

In the glass, it shows an intense ruby color with garnet reflections, a prelude to deep sensory complexity. The nose reveals scents of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and subtle mineral hints that evoke the volcanic soil. On the palate, it is balanced, with silky tannins and a vibrant freshness that leads to a long and harmonious finish. The strength of Etna and the elegance of Nerello Mascalese merge into an enveloping and refined experience.

Perfect with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, Il Musmeci Riserva Speciale RS is an ideal choice for those seeking a complex wine, linked to its territory and capable of telling its story with authenticity. The magnum further enhances its aging potential and aromatic depth.

Winery history

The project began with the arrival of Silvia Maestrelli and her husband Roberto Silva and the subsequent acquisition of small plots in the Rovittello area. Operations were formally established in 2007, with the involvement of specialist consultants and collaborators who helped shape the estate’s style.

Production philosophy

The winery presents itself as "a place of beauty between land and spirit": its approach emphasizes the expression of Etna's volcanic terroir, respect for historic vineyards, and an artisanal interpretation of viticultural and cellar practices.
