Rosato 2024

Description

Still organic rosé from Etna DOC, 12.5% ABV, produced by Terrazze dell'Etna. 100% Nerello Mascalese. 0.75 L bottle, 2024 vintage. A rosé born from the embrace of Etna's native grape varieties, particularly Nerello Mascalese, the winery's flagship variety. The vineyards are located in the municipality of Randazzo (CT), on the northwest slopes of Etna, at an altitude between 650 and 950 meters above sea level, in a cool, breezy climate with significant temperature variations between day and night. Vinification without skins, maturation in stainless steel and then in bottle. The nose is fresh with splendid aromas of red apple and peach and balsamic hints. Pink in color with purple reflections that enhance its brilliance. On the palate, it is savory with great freshness, while the finish reveals structure and balance.

The amphitheatre of terraces gathers, as if in an embrace, Etna's indigenous grape varieties: Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio and Carricante, while also encircling other international varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Petit Verdot. Nerello Mascalese is the company's main grape variety, a red thread that binds the entire production.

Ancient head-trained vines over 60 years old give life to Cirneco: Etna Rosso, whose name is a tribute to the volcano's native hunting dog, which possesses the wine's equal characteristics in terms of elegance and strength.

The younger vines give birth to Carusu, a young Etna Doc that retraces the history of Etna reds in a modern key, Rosato Etna Doc with its pinky hues, and Ciuri, an elegant and unique wine, originated from the white vinification of Nerello Mascalese.

From the Carricante vineyards comes Cinniri, a Bianco Etna DOC that, as the name indicates, brings the typical flavours of the volcano back into the glass.

The international grape varieties give rise to four Metodo Classico sparkling wines (two that remain 36 months on the lees and two that remain 50 months) and two IGT Sicilia red wines. Read more
