---|---|---|---|---|
Varietal | Red Blend | |||
Region | Italy: Sicily | |||
Notes | "Here is a simple, entry-level blend of Nerello Mascalese (80%) and Nerello Cappuccio (20%). The mid-weight 2017 Etna Rosso Vulkà is briefly put in oak barrels for better integration and harmony. This is not a complicated wine, but it does offer bright aromas of cherry, red currant and campfire ash (to remind you of its volcanic origins). Some 35,000 bottles were produced."
