Etna Rosso

Dry stone walls in volcanic soil, terracing, and ancient vineyards cultivated with bush-trained and trellised vines create a unique landscape in the world, the Etna wine landscape. Varieties such as Carricante, Nerello Mascalese, and Nerello Cappuccio are the most common for producing elegant, mineral, and strongly personality-driven wines.
