Contrada Nave in Bronte, at the northwestern extreme of Etna's production zone, really does feel like nowhere else on Sicily. Dominated by the ‘back’ view of the volcano and its National Park, with outcrops of solidified lava jutting out here and there, it's a beautiful, windswept landscape where Grenache seems to flourish with a long ripening period. At 1,200 metres above sea level, this amphora-vinified wine channels all of the variety's characteristics: floral, spicy notes with some Parma violets, then fresh cherry and raspberry coulis in the mouth. Tight and energetic, it just needs time.
