Terre Nere Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo - Il Quadro delle Rose 2014
Feudo di Mezzo is the largest cru in the appellation, a homogenous character, but with clear qualitative variations – much like one could say of Clos de Vougeot in Burgundy. Itis supremely silky, its tannins suave, its bouquet darkly debonair. I love it as it ages effortlessly, its crepuscular nature picking up light as it ripens.

Colour

Rale ruby.

Bouquet

Bouquet is elegant, complex, with red fruits and cherry notes.

Flavour

Harmonic, with a good acidity and persistence, soft and silky tannins.

Pairing

To pair with meat, game or seasoned cheese.
