Etna Rosso Murgo
This wine is closely linked to the traditions of Etna and the specific soils which are found on the volcano. The techniques employed in its production heighten the varying characteristics of the grapes
Its personality, elegance and sensual complexities are closely linked to the earth itself. The wine’s mineral flavours recall the lava and volcanic sand. This wine was first bottled in 1982 and today continues to be Murgo’s most important product.
