Description
What kind of wine it is
Murgo Etna Rosso is a Sicilian wine that best expresses the characteristics of the Nerello Mascalese grape variety. Ruby red in colour, it offers a bouquet centred on red fruit, enriched with hints of black pepper and cloves. On the palate, it is harmonious, supported by remarkable flavour persistence. Each sip reflects the soul of the volcano, revealing a complexity that is perfect for pairing with grilled meats.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Santa Venerina, in the Etna region. The vineyards grow on the slopes of the volcano, rooted in soils composed of lava and volcanic sands, elements that impart a distinct minerality and profound savouriness. Murgo has tended these lands with dedication since 1860, enhancing their agricultural uniqueness to convey the authentic energy of the Etna terroir in the glass.
How it is produced
It is made from Nerello Mascalese grapes, cultivated using a trellis system to ensure ideal ripening of the bunches. The vinification process is designed to respect the identity of the variety, preserving the clear savoury signature imparted by the volcano. Thanks to careful management in the cellar, the wine achieves excellent structural elegance and offers an interesting ageing potential for those who appreciate wines that evolve over time.
