Aetneus Etna Rosso 2016
We are located at 770 m above sea level, on the northern side of Etna, the vineyards are pre-phylloxera, 150 year old vines.
The volcanic and sandy soils give strength and vital nerve to the wine, pushing the drink very much on mineral and dynamic notes.
Only 80% of the selected grapes are destemmed, the 12-day maceration and alcoholic fermentation take place in stainless steel vats, while the malolactic fermentation takes place in wooden barrels.
The wine then ages for 24 months in barriques.
It is the emblem of the vital force of the volcano, a red with a texture and structure of great finesse which however manages to be expressive and broad thanks to the Etna soils.
Features
Colour: ruby red.
perfume: flint, withered mulberry, currants and raspberries, wet earth, cocoa powder.
Taste: in the mouth elegant tannic textures and crystalline matter blend in a sip of breadth and vigor, energy of the volcano and balsamic hints at the end.
Suggestions
Serve in large glasses to be able to oxygenate the wine, a vintage that is already very ready now but which can remain in the warehouse for another 10 years.
Recommended with: roasts.
Events
lunch/dinner with family, business lunch, cerimonial occasions, barbecues, collectable wines.
