This wine was born in the shadow of Etna in a valley between the Nebrodi mountain range and the volcano Etna. A valley that has always seen as a union between man and vine. The grape variety is cabernet sauvignon, an international grape that has been cultivated in this area for more than two decades. The volcanic soil, which is rich in minerals and skeleton gives it more complexity.
Grape variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Vinification: The grapes are harvested by hand in baskets and destemmed. The crushed grapes are collected in stainless steel containers, where fermentation takes place in the presence of the marc, at a temperature of 26-28° C. At the end of alcoholic fermentation, which takes about 9 days, the wine is put in 225-liter oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation takes place. In the barrels the wine remains for six months ageing on the noble lees. After another six months of refinement in steel containers, the wine is bottled.
Tasting notes: The wine has an intense ruby red color, the nose is fruity and spicy with vegetal notes of pepper. On the palate it is soft fresh, slightly tannic and quite persistent.
Food paring: It can be paired with red meats, but is also to be tried with blue fish and tuna and also with "cous cous" made with meat and vegetables.
Alcohol content: 14% vol.
Serving temperature: 16-18°C
