Etna DOC Rosato 2024

Produced entirely with Nerello Mascalese grapes, the Etna Rosato by Terrazze dell’Etna is a tasty, balanced and refreshing wine, to be enjoyed not only as an aperitif but also at meals. Nerello mascalese is a native grape variety of the Etna area, it stands out for its elegance from the point of view of floral and fruity aromas and for its structure, given by the phenolic richness. Furthermore, the volcanic territory of Etna gives an absolutely unique personality to Nerello mascalese, making it attractive in every version, even in pink. The grapes come from vineyards at 600 meters above sea level on the northern side of Etna, the vines are bush-trained and are 20 years old.

The harvest is manual in mid-October. The grapes are left to macerate in the press for 8 hours. They are then gently pressed and the free-run must ferments in steel vat at a controlled temperature. For 6 months the wine remains in contact with its own lees which are kept in suspension with repeated bâtonnage.
