'Goddess Volcano' Etna Rosso DOC Donnafugata 2021

Dea Vulcano Etna Rosso DOC is a wine with persistent aromas from Donnafugata , a winery that aims to enhance the denomination. This wine is mainly obtained from Nerello Mascalese grapes, to which is added a small percentage of Nerello Cappuccio grapes. Both autochthonous varieties achieve extraordinary results on the northern slope of the volcano, whose lands give a complex sensory profile to the bunches. To guarantee high standards, the hand harvest involves a selection of the best grapes. In the cellar, the processes begin with the fermentation in steel, which includes maceration on the skins and lasts for about 10 days. The subsequent refinement lasts a year and takes place half in cement tanks and the remaining half in oak barrels at the second and third passage. Dea Vulcano Etna Rosso DOC can be enjoyed shortly after bottling, or stored with care for up to a maximum of 5 years in the cellar.
