Nerello Mascalese with small amounts of Carricante and Catarratto, from a tiny plot planted in 1940 on the volcanic sands of Monte Ilice, on the southeastern slope of Mount Etna. Destemmed, the grapes underwent four days of skin maceration before the wine was moved to glass demijohns until the following June. This red combines mountain and volcanic influences, revealing savoury notes and mineral tension. Its layered texture is supported by firm tannins and good acidity, with a lingering liquorice finish and the structure to develop beautifully over time.
