Lenza di Munti Etna Rosato
Made with selected grapes grown on lava terraces at an average altitude of 720 m above sea level, these Etna wines represent a unique combination of the typical elegance of mountain wine and minerality due to volcanic origin. The extraordinary wealth of minerals in Etna's volcanic soils is the source of the very sapid and typical flavor of the wines produced here. The quality of the soil is closely tied to Etna’s volcanic origins, as it was formed through the disintegration of lavas with different compositions and from different eras, and eruptive materials such as sands, ashes, pumice stone and “lapilli”.
Wine Production
Nerello Mascalese is a late ripening black grape hystorically prevalent on Etna, that takes its name from Mascali territory where it was selected a few centuries ago. This is the base of the Etna Rosato DOC, which must contain at least 80% of Nerello Mascalese grapes.
Tasting Notes
Pale pink with brilliant highlights. A rich, floral and fruity bouquet with notes of rosehip, wild berries, pink grapefruit and spices. Great minerality on the palate, with a fresh, well-balanced and lingering taste.
Food Pairing
Pairs wonderfully with cold cuts, roasted white meat, risotto with shellfish, tuna tartare, stewed swordfish and many other flavorful seafood dishes.
