The Cuordilava by Donnafugata is a refined and intense expression of the volcanic terroir of Etna. Produced from the noble indigenous Sicilian grape varieties Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, this red wine is a tribute to the strength and beauty of Europe's most active volcano.

Visually, Cuordilava presents itself with a deep ruby red color with garnet reflections, which upon observation reveals its structure and complexity. On the nose, it astonishes with its harmonious bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and wild strawberry, enriched with spicy and balsamic notes, typical of its aging in barrique.

On the palate, the impact is elegant and well-balanced, with fine tannins and a vibrant freshness that echoes the lava-based minerality of its soil. The aftertaste is persistent, leaving a pleasant sensation of cleanliness and a long trail of spicy and fruity aromas.

Ideal for accompanying dishes of red meat, game, and aged cheeses, Cuordilava is also perfect for being enjoyed on its own, as a meditation after an intensive day. Its complexity and structure make it an ideal candidate for long aging, promising to evolve splendidly in future vintages.

With its Etna Rosso DOC Cuordilava, Donnafugata presents a wine that fully expresses the passion and respect for a unique territory, capable of offering profound and unforgettable emotions to wine lovers.
