Nicosia Etna Rosso Lenza di Munti 720 m s.l.m. 2019
Etna Rosso "Lenza di Munti" is a wine of great personality and complexity, with a rich aroma of red fruit, aromatic herbs and spices. In the mouth, it is robust, harmonious and persistent thanks to its blend of native Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes, grown on the lava terraces of vineyards. A wine combining the elegance, typical of high-altitude wines, with the marked minerality deriving from its volcanic origin.

Colour

Bright ruby red.

Bouquet

Complex and intense nose with floral hints and notes of red fruit.

Flavour

Lively and soft in the mouth, it shows great minerality and an intense fruity finish.

Pairing

Excellent with cold cuts, semi-seasoned cheeses, tasty first courses, roasted and grilled meats.

Nicosia

It was back in 1898 when Francesco Nicosia, the current owner's great-grandfather, decided to open the first wine shop in Trecastagni on the eastern slope of Mount Etna. These were golden times for Etna wine, which even then was known and appreciated...
