WIEMAKER'S NOTES:
This wine is made from 100% Nerello Mascalese, from the South-western slope of Mount Etna in Contrada Cavaliere (part of the village of Santa Maria di Licodia), particularly suited for its high elevation and abundant luminosity. The maturation occurs in used tonneaux of French oak for about 12 months and then in stainless steel. Pale ruby in color, the nose is ethereal and spicy with aromas of red fruit. The palate is dry, medium-to-full bodied, and distintively tannic while remaining balanced and persistent.
