*Pick up orders are available next day for pick up"A rich and fragrant wine of pure Nerello Mascalese from different vineyards, partly from our best parcels where we produce our crus (Zottorinoto-Chiusa Spagnolo, Feudo di Mezzo-Porcaria, Pontale Palino) as well as designated vineyards for this specific wine (Rampante, Piano Daini and Crasà). A classic, traditional Nerello Mascalese with tannins and sweetness of ripe fruit. My vision of a traditional, balanced and rich Northern Valley Etna wine.
The grapes are destemmed and lighted crushed. Fermentation begins with a "pied-de-cuve” using only indigenous yeasts and skin contact for about 60 days. The wine is aged in neutral epoxy tanks (from 2500-7000 liters in size). The wine is not fined but it is filtered before bottling with PP cartridges of 5 micron (& sulphur values can vary from 5 to 30 mg/l., added or not, depending on the quality of grapes and stability of the wine). 12,000 bottes are made per year.
