It is made from a \u003cstrong\u003eblend of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio\u003c\/strong\u003e, presenting a bright, transparent ruby colour. The bouquet is typically Mediterranean, characterised by wild berries, mastic, wild fennel and lively hints of Sichuan pepper. On the palate, it shows excellent balance and a pronounced \u003cstrong\u003emineral character\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by \u003cstrong\u003evelvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that lead the sip towards a long and intensely savoury finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes grow in Contrada Blandano in Viagrande, on the south-eastern slope of Etna. The vineyards are situated between 450 and 550 metres above sea level, immersed in a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh hillside climate\u003c\/strong\u003e with temperature variations ideal for enhancing aromatic precision. The \u003cstrong\u003eforty-year-old vines\u003c\/strong\u003e, trained using espalier, bush and spur-pruned cordon methods, sink their roots into soils composed of \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic sands\u003c\/strong\u003e. This particular geological matrix imparts a vibrant earthy energy to the wine, ensuring a taut and profound flavour profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvesting begins in October with a careful \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e. After destemming, fermentation involves about ten days of maceration on the skins, managed with brief pump-overs to calibrate the extraction of colour and structure. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine matures in both steel tanks and \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, finishing with a \u003cstrong\u003efinal period of rest\u003c\/strong\u003e. This production process gives a red wine with a fresh acidic drive, perfectly balancing the elegance of the fruit with the austerity of the terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name pays homage to a Latin work from 1495, in which the Venetian humanist Pietro Bembo recounted his epic ascent of Etna. This memory, steeped in classicism and mysticism, is revived today in the \u003cstrong\u003elimited organic production\u003c\/strong\u003e of Terra Costantino, a historic winery founded in 1975. From the volcanic terroir, just 30,000 bottles are produced, capable of translating volcanic energy into true oenological excellence.
