2022 Tornatore Etna Rosso

This Etna Rosso comes from the skillful vinification of the Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio native grapes from Etna. Manual harvest and double triage on the northern slopes of Etna. Fransesco unravels and crushes the two Nerellos, after which they are fermented in concrete tubs at a low temperature to preserve fraiche. 6 months in old oak barrels.

In the glass this Etna red shows a bright garnet color, light tranparent.
On the medium+ nose delicate aromas of red berries, strawberries and forest fruit with well integrated hints of graphite, blackberries, light barrique with spicy tones.
On the palate dry, medium bodied with great structure, balance and beautiful depth. Medium acidity and medium+ tannins. Flavours of red fruits, prunes and earthy hints. The finish is medium+ with light salty aftertaste. Great to refresh my memory of this wonderful region and wines.
