Description
Etna Rosso DOC, 13.5% ABV, produced by Carranco in Sicily. A wine born on the slopes of Etna, a tribute to the strength and elegance of Nerello Mascalese. The nose is very refined with clear hints of red fruit, but also floral, fresh, and elegant. Ruby red, not too intense. On the palate, it is structured and balanced, with fruity notes of strawberry and black cherry. Spicier notes, black pepper and rhubarb, also stand out. On the palate, it is structured and balanced, full-bodied, and intense. Finally, the tannins are savory and silky, with a lovely persistence. Over time, it acquires more animal notes, and tertiary aromas emerge. A wine that pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, aged cheeses, and cured meats.

Carranco was born from the meeting of Borgogno and Tornatore, a blend of history, experience, and authentic Ethnean roots.
The vineyards are located on the volcano's northern flank, and only traditional methods of vinification are used. It only grows native vines, primarily Nerello Mescalese, Nerello Cappuccio, and Carricante, which are the purest expressions of Etna, and it is from the volcanic soils that they draw the power, strength, and explosiveness of each eruption.
