IDDA Etna Rossa 2019

Reknowned Italian winemaker Angelo Gaja began his journey into Sicilian winemaking when he met grower Alberto Graci. Teaming up with a local grower allowed them to use the local knowledge of the varietals and region paired with Gaja's winemaking expertise. Focusing on just two grapes they make only two wines from Nerello Mascalese and Carricante.

This wine is fantastic with a tarry, slightly reductive nose along with some herb, sweet red cherry and plum fruit as well as some spicy peppery hints. On the palate you will taste tar, spice, herbs and sweet berry fruits with a gravelly edge and some nice dried herbs. The long ripening season on this vintage allowed the grapes develop a fine structure and the wine finishes with a delicate hint toasty nut and terracotta.
