Etna

Just 3,000 bottles of this 100% Nerello Mascalese were produced in 2016, from vines in Contrada Guardiola in north Etna at around 800m with an average age of 150 years. The fruit is macerated for 18-21 days followed by a soft pressing. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrel, followed by ageing in 30 and 50hL barrels for 18 months. Tight and tannic, it showcases a muscular framework allied to perfumed red cherry, liquorice, touches of black cherry richness and terracotta, and a stony, mineral finish. Plenty of potential.
