Nicosia Monte Gorna Etna Rosso Vecchie Viti Riserva 2016
This Etna Rosso Riserva wine is produced from the best grapes grown on the lava terraces of the Monte Gorna vineyard. The blend is made predominantly of Nerello Mascalese grapes, the main native variety of Etna. The volcanic terroir gives this wine a unique character and great minerality. The low yields in the vineyard, the hand-picking and the careful selection of the grapes make this Monte Gorna Riserva Etna Rosso a very elegant wine.

Colour

Pale ruby red tending to garnet.

Bouquet

Floral hints, spicy notes and scents of liquorice, rose hips, and dried fruits. A complex flavour profile evolves further into the glass in elegant tertiary aromas.

Flavour

Intact freshness and soft tannins with an elegant, structured, harmonious taste with a long finish.

Pairing

Aged cheeses, tagliatelle pasta with Porcini mushrooms, white meat sauce, game, and sausages.
