The bouquet is lively, characterised by notes of wild strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant, enriched with delicate floral touches and hints of Mediterranean scrub. On the palate, it is juicy, with a \u003cstrong\u003epronounced minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e that leads to a pleasantly citrusy finish. The vinification, carried out partly in steel tanks and partly in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensures an ideal balance between acidic tension and roundness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the picturesque Contrada Volpare, in the municipality of Milo, located on the eastern slope of the volcano. The vineyards are an example of \u003cstrong\u003eheroic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e, with bush-trained vines grown on steep terraces bordered by dry-stone walls made of lava stone. Thanks to the altitude of seven hundred metres and the eastern exposure, the vines benefit from a microclimate that preserves aromatic freshness. The \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic sandy soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, rich in minerals, gives the wine a vibrant personality. Maugeri manages the estate following the principles of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic farming\u003c\/strong\u003e and sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins in October with the \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e of the bunches to ensure their integrity. In the winery, gentle pressing and cryomaceration allow for the delicate extraction of primary aromas. Fermentation takes place between steel and wood to safeguard the typical character of the grape variety. This is followed by careful \u003cstrong\u003eageing on fine lees\u003c\/strong\u003e for four months, which adds structure and a pleasant texture. Thanks to its versatility, it is excellent when \u003cstrong\u003epaired with grilled shellfish\u003c\/strong\u003e, vegetarian dishes and charcuterie boards.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Etna Rosato Contrada Volpare 2024 by Maugeri celebrates a family's return to its roots on the eastern slope of the volcano, in Milo.
