Pietro Caciorgna Etna Rosso Guardoilvento 2017
Guardoilvento is the wine dedicated to Dante Albieri (Graphic), Maria de Ferraris (Artist), Francesco Antonelli (Navigator and Writer). The name of the wine, which is also the name of the first novel by Francesco Antonelli, represents the image of the vine cultivated in Alberello that is crossed in all directions by the wind, sometimes gently caressed to give relief, sometimes lashed by a violent force. But she, the vine, with its roots firmly anchored to the land that feeds it, and close to the pole to which the man has entrusted it, remains there to watch and listen to that wind, which is also salubrity, is quality.

Colour

Red strawberry transparent.

Bouquet

Perfumed with intense and delicate aromas, with notes of fresh fruit and spices.

Flavour

On the palate, the aromas of fresh fruit are supported by delicate tannins and a good acidity. Strong body but with gentle, soft and delicate tannins.

Pairing

Guardoilvento goes very well with lighter meat based dishes e.g. pork, veal and poultry. Vegetables like cabbage and spinach, mushrooms, carpaccio, a diverse set of antipasti and pasta dishes are good companions as well as lighter fish dishes.
