Sicily magical place, where the scents, the colors, the flavors of a unique land dance with life, envelop you in an irresistible and inebriating atmosphere. Centuries of delicacies to be tasted slowly.
Nero d’Avola is Sicily’s oldest native grape and rightly deserving of the high acclaim which it now receives. Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio are smaller players amongst Sicily’s leading red grapes but are key natives around Mount Etna. The two are blended to create Etna Rosso. Cerasuolo di Vittoria, which blends Frappato and Nero d’Avola, is more famous in the south east around Ragusa. Other red grapes include Calabrese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah (originally from southern France).
Etna Rosso di Murgo is a Sicilian red wine made from Nerello mascalese and Nerello mantellato or Cappuccio grapes. The color is intense ruby red and has hints of fruit and spices.
A wine closely linked to the volcanic territory of Etna, it brings with it characteristics such as personality, elegance and complexity that are unique in its kind.
