Etna Rosato Contrada VOLPARE/Rosé

A dry rosé wine made from 100% Nerello Mascalese, cultivated in the single "Contrada Volpare" plot on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna. This wine beautifully expresses the character of Etna, combining the rich minerality from its volcanic soil with the fresh fruit flavors nurtured by the Mediterranean breeze.

A floral fruit aroma reminiscent of wild strawberries, raspberries, and mandarin oranges, layered with nuances of Mediterranean herbs and flowers.

On the palate, vibrant acidity and the rich minerality characteristic of Etna spread, offering an elegant taste with a saline note derived from the volcanic soil.

The fresh fruit flavor and delicate texture are harmoniously balanced, leading to a long, pleasant finish.

Pairs well with a wide range of dishes, including seafood, shellfish, white meat, and vegetable dishes.

Recommended pairings include carpaccio, tuna tartare, grilled shrimp, and Mediterranean salads.

For Japanese cuisine, it harmonizes beautifully with dishes that highlight the natural flavors of ingredients, such as sushi, sashimi, and salt-grilled sea bream.

Nerello Mascalese grapes are hand-harvested from the high-altitude vineyards of Contrada Volpare.

The delicate rosé color is extracted through brief skin contact, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.

The wine is then aged in a combination of stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels, resulting in a style that balances freshness with complexity.
