Planeta Etna Eruzione 1614 Nerello Mascalese 2020
A constellation of eruption mark the volcano's history, and the shape it took over time. The eruption of 1614 is legendary for being the longest history, lasting ten years. The vines used to make this wine actually grow on this lava flow. Nerello Mascalese, and a small amount of Nerello Cappuccio, is cultivated on high altitude black soils and aged in 25 and 36 hl oak barrels for approximately 14 months, resulting in a wine of intense aromas of sour cherry, cherry and beeswax with an elegant structure.

Bouquet

Aromas of incense and herbs, hibiscus and wild fennel.

Flavour

Soft and sweet, thanks to the sweetness of wild fruits and currants with a superb tannic structure giving aromas of incense and beeswax and a light salty touch. It is a luminous and lyrical wine that recounts the character and refinement of great red mountain wines at latitudes not far from Africa.

Pairing

Game, dishes with truffles, fish with savoury sauces, cheeses, and cured meats.
