Tenute Bosco Etna Rosso Prephylloxera Vigna Vico 2015
This Cru Vigna Vico, is an elegant wine with an extraordinary complexity. It expresses all of its potential from a unique and ancient terroir, Etna. It comes from one of the very few parcels in the contrada Santo Spirito that were not covered by the lava flow of 1879.

Colour

Ruby red, full of light, with shades that turn to garnet.

Bouquet

Mineral presence and balsamic sensations that intertwine with the flavours of ripe fruit and spirits, cherry, blackcurrant, strawberries, followed and complemented by aromas of pepper and licorice, juniper berries and tobacco leaves.

Flavour

Strong and full of taste, still fresh with well-perceptible tannins. Long persistence, pleasant and satisfying closure.
