This \u003cstrong\u003eblend of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio\u003c\/strong\u003e displays an intense ruby hue, enhanced by subtle garnet reflections. On the nose, it reveals clear aromas of ripe red fruits, spicy notes and hints of lacquer. On the palate, a \u003cstrong\u003esolid and harmonious structure\u003c\/strong\u003e emerges, refined in barrels, supported by rounded and gentle tannins leading to an ethereal finish, ideal with \u003cstrong\u003ered meats and mature cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown on the north-western slope of the volcano, in the Bocca d’Orzo area in the municipality of Randazzo. At six hundred metres above sea level, the thirty-year-old vineyards are cultivated using the espalier system and the \u003cstrong\u003eEtnean Bush Vine\u003c\/strong\u003e method. The roots explore deep, dark \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic-lava soils\u003c\/strong\u003e rich in rocky debris, formed from the disintegration of ancient lava flows.

At the end of the spontaneous malolactic fermentation, the wine initially matures in steel before continuing its evolution in \u003cstrong\u003ebarrels for ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e for a similar period. The final stage involves a twelve-month rest in the bottle, essential for softening the \u003cstrong\u003etannic texture\u003c\/strong\u003e and achieving perfect balance on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarusu by Terrazze dell’Etna is a fascinating Etna Rosso DOC that fully embodies the power of the volcano.
