The 2025 Etna Rosato is wickedly fresh, mixing lemon zest with crushed tropical melon, mint leaves and spice. Cool-toned and lifted in style, it offers a cascade of kiwi and candied lime under an air of chamomile. A saline inflection and tart citrus tones pucker the cheeks, while the finish is long yet refreshing.Grapes: 100% Nerello Mascalese

Made entirely of old-vine Nerello Mascalese grown in the San Lorenzo contrada. The grapes are harvested manually at the beginning of October; the whole bunches is pressed, which takes about five hours, allowing for some extraction of color and flavor from the skins. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, using indigenous yeasts, at controlled temperature. The wine is then aged in tank for about six months, then filtered and bottled. About fifteen thousand bottles are produced each vintage.
