Rampante Etna Rosso, produced from Nerello Mascalese grapes, is a wine obtained from a small pre-phylloxera plot located in the Contrada Rampante at 850 meters above sea level. This vineyard, grown on sandy-loam soils rich in volcanic rock, benefits from a unique microclimate, thanks to its perfect exposure to sunlight.
The harvest takes place in the second half of October. The crushing and destemming are followed by an approximately 18-day maceration in raw cement tulip tanks. The wine then matures in the bottle for 14 months in oak barrels. On the nose, this wine reveals rich fruity and toasted notes, anticipating a full, warm, and enveloping mouthfeel.
