Etna Rosso doc Tornatore 2018

The Etna Rosso of Tornatore is a typical and intense Sicilian red wine, produced entirely from the native red vines of the Etna area, the Nerello Mascalese and the Nerello Cappuccio. The Etna Rosso of Tornatore has a beautiful pale ruby red color; the nose is rich, pleasant, with fruity hints of berries and a light spicy note in the final. After aging for 12 months in large wooden barrels, the mouthfeel is soft, juicy, savoury and characterized by a particularly tannic finish. The Etna Rosso of Tornatore winery is perfect to drink in combination with tasty main courses of meat or oven cooked lasagna with meat sauce.

The origins of the Tornatore winery date back to 1865, when Giuseppe Tornatore, great-grandfather of the current owner, started farming and began producing wine. The Tornatore winery is located on the northern side of Etna, on a soil of volcanic origin ideal for the production of wines of the highest quality. The Tornatore family has deep roots linked to the territory and a strong respect for traditions; it controls a company that owns 60 hectares of land in the Agro di Castiglione di Sicilia and directly owns more 40 hectares. The land is cultivated for about 46 hectares of vineyards, 8 hectares of olive trees and 5 hectares of hazelnut trees; today the Tornatore company owns the largest vineyard within the Etna doc production area and its wines stand out for their excellent quality / price ratio.
