Description
Le Sabbie dell’Etna Rosso comes to
the glass with a delicious and complex bouquet with notes of cinnamon,
black pepper, blackcurrant and cherries in alcohol. Only the
extraordinary terroir of Castiglione di Sicilia, on the slopes of
Europe’s largest active volcano, could yield a wine with such great
personality. The estate’s volcanic soils are distinguished by their high
nutrient content of phosphorous, which determines the sugar content in
the must; manganese, which increases the plants’ resistance to the cold;
and iron, which contributes to the black grapes’ pigmentation, giving
the native vine varieties of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio
their bright ruby red colour.
