Etna Rosso Tenuta San Michele
This wine is obtained from the best batches of Nerello Mascalese which have been selected for the perfect polyphenolic maturation. The long maceration at low temperature allows a complete extraction of the components, creating a wine in which the true potential of these particular grapes and the Etna terroir are enhanced.
The particular elegance of the tannins combined with a considerable concentration determines a great sensorial complexity in which the mineral taste of the black sands of the volcano is highlighted in a very fine way. Alongside these characteristics, spicy notes are perceived that combine in a very pleasant way with the fruitiness of the grapes and traces of vanilla and toasted hazelnuts are felt in the aftertaste.
