Description
Still red wine from Etna DOC in Sicily, 14% ABV, produced by Cottanera. 100% Nerello Mascalese, 2020 vintage. A wine born from the Cambria family's passion for wine, having produced excellent wines on the slopes of Etna for over twenty years. The floral and citrus nose features notes of wild rose and dried violets, orange peel, eucalyptus, sweet spices, and menthol notes, all beautifully balanced on a mineral base of graphite. Ruby color with garnet highlights. The palate focuses on freshness and excellent tannins, well-balanced by a measured alcohol content and a pleasant smoothness.
