2013
1815 is the year engraved on the black lava stone of the cellars. That is how long the Scilio family has been active in winegrowing on the north-eastern slopes of Mount Etna. For their organic Etna wines they use grapes from old vines supplemented with more recent plantings.
Grape: 80% Nerello Mascalese & amp; 20% Nerello Mantellato comes from old vineyards with volcanic soil. The average age of the vines is 60 years.
Winemaking: The grapes are harvested by hand. After a gentle pressing, a long peel and classic vinification in stainless steel follows. The wine is refined for 12 months in French oak tonneaux.
View: Intense ruby red with a beautiful sparkle
Nose & Mouth: A complex nose with lots of black fruit, cherries, dried herbs, dried flower, mineral notes and roasted aromas. The pleasant fruit aromas are beautifully reflected in the mouth. The tannins are powerful and the acids are perfectly balanced.
Serve with: Grilled or roasted meat, game and mature cheeses
