Etna Rosso DOC
The colour is a bright ruby red with clear edges. The bouquet is full of typical smells: pot-pourry of red and dried fruits, where raspberry and cherry jump out of the glass, followed by Asian spices, aromatic herbs, graphite and salty sea notes. The taste embraces the mouth totally, with a long persistence, supported by good tannins and salty sea notes. The balance makes this wine elegant and ready to drink. Long lasting end.
