Barone di Villagrande Etna Rosso 2023

Barone di Villagrande Etna Rosso is a distinguished Sicilian red wine crafted in the heart of Milo and Castiglione di Sicilia in Etna region. Comprised of the indigenous varieties Nerello Mascalese (80%) with Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mantellato (20%), it epitomizes the essence of the region's terroir. With a modest yield of 50 hectoliters per hectare, the wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel vats with maceration lasting 6-10 days. Its refinement occurs in 500-liter traditional chestnut barrels for 12 months, followed by bottling after 18 months from harvest. This meticulous process yields a wine with a captivating balance of elegance and structure, showcasing the volcanic soils of Mount Etna through its vibrant red fruit flavors, nuanced earthy undertones, and a lingering, velvety finish.
