An “extreme” red, a blend of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, from the vineyards that embrace the Santa Venera stream, at Tenuta La Gelsomina, on the north-east side of Etna. The grapes are hand-picked during the last ten days of September and left to macerate in contact with the skins, favoring the right aromatic contribution and the complete extraction of tannins. After fermentation at a controlled temperature, the wine ages first in steel, then in tonneax and barrique for 12 and 15 months, completing in the bottle for at least 4 months. A harmonious wine, enveloping in the sip, characterized by unmistakable hints of ripe red fruit, enriched by notes of balsamic and vanilla.
