Al Cantara - Un Bellissimo Novembre | DOC Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese
Specifications
Grape & craft
Nerello Mascalese is grown in a 1-hectare vineyard located near Randazzo, in the province of Catania, at an altitude of 620 meters above sea level. The vineyard, planted in 2005, lies on a volcanic soil, rich in minerals and characterized by stones and gravel. After harvest, the grapes undergo a 28-day skin maceration at a controlled temperature of 28 to 30 °C. Following alcoholic fermentation, a spontaneous malolactic fermentation takes place, adding further roundness to the wine. The wine is then aged for 12 months in Etna chestnut wood, followed by maturation in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness, and finally a period of bottle aging before release. The result is a wine of character and finesse, clearly expressing its volcanic origin.
