PIETRADOLCE Santo Spirito Etna Rosso DOC Single Vineyard 2020 Bottle (Nerello Mascalese)

Description

Santo Spirito Etna Rosso is a wine obtained from Nerello Mascalese grapes from a pre-phylloxera vineyard that was brought to light and restored during land reclamation work. This vineyard is located in the highest part of the Contrada Santo Spirito at 900 metres above sea level. It is a very windy promontory, with marked temperature variations and sandy soils, with abundant volcanic rock.

The harvest takes place in the second half of October. The crushing and destemming is followed by a maceration of approximately 18 days in raw cement tulip tanks. The 14-month aging in oak barrels is followed by maturation in the bottle. The result is a wine with an ample bouquet, which alternates spicy notes with red berries. The taste is vibrant, with distinctive elegance and personality.
