Notes: Bright strawberry and sour-cherry aromas mingle with wild herbs, lavender and a puff of volcanic smoke. The mid-weight palate is silky yet incisive, layering red-currant, black-pepper and pine-resin nuances over fine, sandy tannins. A streak of mineral salinity and brisk acidity leaves the finish ringing with freshness.

ABV: 13.5 %
Region: Etna DOC (north slope), Sicily, Italy
Aging: 5–7 years
Pairings: Pasta alla Norma, grilled swordfish, roast lamb, mushroom risotto
Try this if you like: Pinot Noir from volcanic soils, Nebbiolo with floral lift, light red Burgundies
