Why We Love This Wine
Trecastagni, at the foot of one of the extinguished craters dotting Mt. Etna, is home to the ancient vineyards of Monte Gorna with their distinctive lava terraces restructured & replanted with Sicilian varieties. The quality of the volcanic soils here rich in minerals & replete with potassium play an important role in the grapes' maturation process. This warm & full-bodied wine has an intense color with a rich aroma featuring hints of cherry & sweet spices. Pleasant red fruit notes are likewise perceived on the palate supported by sweet tannins and a well-structured, lingering finish. Pair this with Baked Pasta Dishes with Meat Sauce, Meat Couscous, Roasted Game, & Aged Cheeses.
