The Elegance of Nerello: Copper Hues and Volcanic Soul

A sip that encapsulates the Ionian breeze and the warmth of the volcano. This Sicilian rosé with its fascinating rose gold tones and copper reflections is born from a careful selection of indigenous grapes grown at high altitude on black sands, offering an olfactory and gustatory experience of rare finesse.

• 🌋 Volcanic Soil and Salinity: The volcanic sands give this glass an unmistakable mineral imprint, which culminates in an elegant saline finish with echoes of sea salt and a vibrant citrus finish.
• 🌱 Indigenous Bush-Vines: A rigorous blend of Nerello Mascalese (80%) and Nerello Cappuccio (20%) trained as bush-vines (alberello) with high density (7,000 vines/ha), ensuring a low yield (6,000 l/ha) to maximize the quality of the grape cluster.
• 🧑🍳 Ancient "Pista e Mutta" Tradition: Vinified following the historic Etna technique of pressing with immediate separation of the must from the skins. This process preserves the delicate hints of blood orange zest, violet, freesia, and peach blossoms to the maximum.
• 🍷 Steel-Aged Freshness: An 8-day fermentation followed by 6 months of aging in steel tanks and 3 months in the bottle, to keep the wine's aromatic profile intact. Niche artisanal production: only 2,000 bottles produced in 2022.

🍷 The Taste Ambassador Recommends:

To enhance the citrus finish and the marked salinity of this rosé, I recommend serving it around 10-12°C. From experience, the perfect pairing is with red tuna tartare or lightly seared Mazara prawns: the wine's vibrant freshness will cleanse the palate, enhancing the natural sweetness of the raw fish.

Quick FAQs

What does "Pista e Mutta" vinification mean?
It is an ancient Sicilian technique ("crush and move") that involves pressing the grapes and immediately separating the must from the skins. This reduces the extraction of color and tannins, giving the wine its typical "rose gold" look while maintaining fresh and elegant floral aromas.

How many bottles are produced?
The Etna Rosato from Tenute dei Ciclopi is a true artisanal gem with limited production. For the 2022 vintage, for example, only 2,000 bottles were produced.
