ABV 13.0%

Ruby red wine with a full body. Aromas of ripe raspberries with hints of volatile acidity due to the natural winemaking processes. It also has sulfurous notes of the Etna terroir. On the palate, flavors of red fruits, mineral notes with soft tannins, bright acidity, and a long persistence.

Pairs with red meats or medium-aged cheeses. Serve in a wide glass and consider letting it breathe for an hour after opening to experience its flavor profile fully. The ideal serving temperature is between 61 and 64°F.

The fermentation process of this wine is spontaneous. The maceration lasts for about three weeks until it is then refined for 12 months in cement tanks. Following this, it is then bottled during the waning moon without any addition of sulphites. Its result is a brightly ruby red colored wine. The nose has floral and fruity hints, with delicate mineral notes. The tasting is rich and round, with a long finish and an excellent balance.
