Etna Rosso DOC Tenuta San Michele 1.5 lt in wooden box 2017 Murgo

This wine is obtained from the best lots of Nerello Mascalese which have been selected for perfect polyphenolic maturation. The long maceration at low temperature allows a complete extraction of the components, creating a wine in which the true potential of these particular grapes and of the Etna terroir are enhanced. The particular elegance of the tannins combined with a notable concentration determines a great sensorial complexity in which the mineral taste of the black sands of the volcano is highlighted in a very fine way. Alongside these characteristics, spicy notes are perceived which combine in a very pleasant way with the fruitiness of the grapes and traces of vanilla and hazelnuts can be felt in the aftertaste.
