Etna

Contrada San Lorenzo is located at around 750m on Etna's northern side, in Randazzo. Vines from 70 to over 100 years old provide the fruit for this darker expression of Etna, matured in used casks for 18 months. Balsamic red fruits mingle with sweet black berries and black cherries, with some strawberry, cherry and pomegranate coming through on the mid-palate. Fine, grainy tannins support the fruit, while some dried fruits and more balsam take centre stage on the long, fresh finish.
