Etna Rosato 2024

Description

Still green rosé from Etna DOC, 12.5% ABV, produced by Cantine Tornatore. 100% Nerello Mascalese, 0.75 L bottle, 2024 vintage. A rosé that embodies the freshness and minerality of the Etna terroir, produced by a winery with a history dating back to 1865. Harvested in the second and third ten days of October. The grapes, hand-picked in small crates, are quickly brought to the winery and manually sorted on a conveyor belt. Destemmed and lightly crushed, they are sent to the press where they are gently pressed. The resulting must is cold-clarified and fermented at a temperature of 15-16°C. Once fermentation is complete, the wine rests on the fine lees for approximately 3 months. Aged for 3 months in stainless steel and 2 months in bottle. Surprisingly fruity; reminiscent of white mulberry, yellow melon, and small berries. Cherry red, tending towards antique pink. On the palate, it is full-bodied, persistent, and fresh, with a mineral note that gives us hope for a long life.

Founded in 1865 by Francesco Tornatore’s great-grandfather, the winery has carried on a winemaking tradition rooted in the fertile lands of Etna for more than 150 years. In 1910 grandfather Giuseppe consolidated the family business by building a palmento in contrada Piano Fiera, marking the beginning of an expansion that would encompass other valuable land on Etna’s northern slope. Our deep knowledge of the land, enriched by decades of experience and passed from generation to generation, allows us today to look to the future with the certainty of those who have always known how to respect the land and its traditions, continuing our commitment to excellence and innovation in the world of wine.
