Tornatore Etna Rosso 2020

Tornatore Etna Rosso 2020

Sicily, Italy (75 cL)

All the finesse, delicacy and minerality typical of volcanic wines from Etna!

A wine with a distinctive aromatic bouquet. A burst of Italian flavors on the palate.

Etna Rosso by Tornatore: a Sicilian red wine that perfectly reflects the character, flavor and fragrance of these extraordinary land and region. An intense, aromatic wine, expertly crafted from Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes, both native to the Etna region.

The wine's color is reminiscent of the glow of lava. It is bright, ruby red with hints of mauve. The volcanic fruit of Etna's northern slopes gives off aromas of cherries and other red berries. This crisp fruit continues on the palate with wild strawberries and black raspberries. Precise fruit, balanced tannins and freshness make this wine a real pleasure to drink.

The Tornatore family has been working the vineyards and terroir of Castiglione di Sicilia, on the northern slopes of the Etna volcano, since the 1930s. Today, the family owns 60 hectares, situated between 550 and 700m above sea level, making it one of the largest DOC Etna estates. The winery was built with low environmental impact and features state-of-the-art equipment. Renewable energy sources are used for its operation. The combination of soil, climate and the wisdom of the winemakers has made Etna's northern slopes ideal for the production of top-quality wines that are above all special and unique.
