2012 Etna Rosso Red Blend

Theresa Eccher Altero is a remarkable red blend hailing from the prestigious Etna Rosso region, known for its unique volcanic terroir that imparts distinct character to its wines. This 2012 vintage showcases a deep, ruby red color that captures the eye, while the nose is a delightful melange of dark fruit aromas intertwined with earthy undertones and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine reveals a medium-bodied profile, balanced by a bright acidity that enhances its freshness and liveliness. The fruit intensity is prominent, delivering juicy notes of black cherry and plum, complemented by a gentle, firm tannin structure that provides depth without overwhelming the experience. The wine is beautifully dry, making it a perfect companion for a variety of dishes, from rich pasta to grilled meats, truly embodying the essence of the Etna Rosso region. Enjoy this captivating blend as it reflects the passion and craftsmanship of its creator.
