Product notes
The vineyards of Cavanera Etnea are located north-northeast of the Etna volcano. Winter temperatures are on average low, with a large temperature difference between day and night. These unique pedoclimatic conditions favor the complex aromatic profile of the grapes.
Production notes
On the northeast slope of Mount Etna, Firriato grows Nerello Mascalese grapes. After selecting the best bunches by manual harvest, the grapes are subjected to skin maceration for a few hours and then lightly pressed. Aging for 3 months on fine lees in stainless steel vats.
Tasting notes
Delicate pink color beginning with notes of pomegranate and raspberries. The palate is harmonious and pleasantly fresh, moving towards a mineral finish. Pairings with salmon and shrimp tartare on the BBQ.
