Etna Rosso

2007 Etna Nerello Mascalese (80%), Nerello Cappuccio (20%)

The Firriato Etna Rosso is a captivating expression of the Etna region, showcasing the remarkable qualities of the Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio varietals. This full-bodied red wine entices with its rich ruby color and complex aromatic profile that features enticing notes of black cherry, raspberries, and subtle hints of a volcanic minerality characteristic of the terroir. On the palate, it reveals a balanced dance of high acidity and notable tannins, both contributing to its structured character. The fruit intensity is pronounced, delivering layers of dark berries, dried herbs, and a touch of spice, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a true representation of the storied Etna landscape. This wine is dry, allowing its vibrant flavors to shine through while offering an inviting experience that is both elegant and powerful.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
