Etna Rosso DOC Pietradolce 2021

Etna Rosso DOC is an elegant and fragrant wine, produced by the Sicilian cellar Pietradolce . It is obtained from the vinification of Nerello Mascalese grapes, an ancient local variety, much appreciated. With a balance between traditional and innovative methods, the vines are cultivated using the Guyot and sapling systems. The plots rise about 800 meters above sea level and are located on the northern slope of Etna, more precisely near Solicchiata. Once the rigorous manual harvest has been completed, the vinification in the cellar begins with the soft pressing of the grapes. Alcoholic fermentation follows in steel vats with maceration on the skins for about twenty days. For ageing, the company focuses on the use of large French tonneaux, in which the wine seals its scents for at least three months. Etna Rosso DOC can be appreciated immediately, as well as after resting in the cellar for 3 or 4 years.
