Description

Il Musmeci is a prestigious Etna Rosso DOC Riserva produced by Tenuta di Fessina, located on the slopes of the highest volcano in Europe, Etna. This extraordinary wine-growing area, with its volcanic soils rich in minerals and a unique microclimate, gives the wine an inimitable structure and complexity. The predominant grape variety is Nerello Mascalese, often accompanied by Nerello Cappuccio, indigenous varieties capable of expressing the soul of the territory with elegance and finesse.

Aging in oak barrels, followed by a period of bottle refinement, enriches Il Musmeci with spicy, floral notes and hints of ripe red fruit, blended with fresh minerality and vibrant acidity. On the nose, aromas of maraschino cherry, aromatic herbs, and light toasting emerge, while on the palate it reveals itself to be enveloping, long, and pleasantly persistent.

An ideal wine to accompany red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, Il Musmeci Magnum is a refined expression of Etna capable of giving profound emotions to wine lovers.

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.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located on the slopes of Mount Etna, characterized by volcanic soils, terraces and historic alberello-trained vines. For the CRU "Il Musmeci" the technical sheet indicates a north-east exposure, an altitude of around 700 m, deep soils and a composition of Nerello Mascalese with the presence of Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante and Minnella in the mixed parcels.
