Hailing from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, this Sicilian red is made from the native Nerello Mascalese variety, with vines aged between 70 – 100 years old. With its red-fruited, floral profile, the Nerello Mascalese variety is sometimes seen as the Sicilian take on Pinot Noir. The eye-catching label design is intended to convey the black of the lava stone, the red of the lava and the white of the snow capped volcano.
Producer Information
After many years of business, in 2006 we embarked on a new venture imbued with a passion for wine, history and nature. On the maquis covered and rocky cape of Savudrija, where in some places the land was never cultivated, we found a place where in the following years our idea merged with nature. In addition to the exceptional location, we were also enchanted by the properties of the area. The proximity of the sea here creates a special microclimate, dry and windy, greatly reducing precipitations, which is beneficial for both vines and healthy olive growth.
