Cavanera Rovo delle Coturnie Firriato 2014

The Cavanera Rovo delle Coturnie of Firriato is a red wine with a great personality, made with Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes grown in a single vineyard on the slopes of the Etna, characterized by a terroir rich in volcanic sand and by a particularly favorable microclimate. With a beautiful bright ruby red color, the Cavanera Rovo delle Coturnie in the nose develops a distinctly mineral bouquet, with notes of small berries, Mediterranean maquis, myrtle and wild flowers. In the mouth it is very balanced, fresh and savory, full-bodied and with a long and persistent final; it is perfect to drink in combination with stewed chicken, noodles with pork sauce, tasty roasted lamb, pigeon in casserole, roe deer fillet with black truffle.
