Donnafugata Etna Rosso Sul Vulcano 2021
A volcano-goddess stands out on the label. Its intense colours - red, yellows, iridescent blacks - are those of Europe's highest active volcano. An ancient, powerful and feminine divinity: 'the Mountain' as Etna is called by the locals. Sul Vulcano is a declaration of love: a pure, fragrant and elegant wine that breathes the energy of this unique place in the centre of the Mediterranean.

Colour

Light ruby red.

Bouquet

On the Vulcano it presents a bouquet distinguished by notes of oriental spices (cardamom), forest fruits (currants and blueberries) accompanied by pleasant, fresh balsamic hints.

Flavour

The palate is pleasantly juicy, with silky tannins and an elegant finish.

Pairing

Perfect with hors d'oeuvres and Mediterranean aubergine or mushroom dishes, ideal with roast or stewed meats. It is a versatile wine that can be paired with roast fish as well as with dishes from different gastronomic traditions, from North American (such as chicken wings or hamburgers) to Asian dishes as long as they are not too spicy. It can also go very well with fusion cuisine such as Tex-Mex, with meat and legume dishes.
