Eduardo Torres Acosta Versante Nord Rosso
The fruit for Versante Nord comes from two parcels – Pietramarina and Crasa – on the cooler, north-facing side of Mt. Etna, where vines average 50 years old. Showing typical Nerello Mascalese characters, spices and red cherries dominate with a mineral volcanic undertone.
Eduardo is wholly committed to organic farming and does everything by hand. His focus is on the classic local black grapes, the noble Nerello Mascalese and its usual vineyard companions like Nerello Cappuccio. Despite his young age, Eduardo is already making a name for himself as one of the new Etna winemakers to watch.
