Il Vulcano di Elisa Nerello Mascalese - 750ml

Il Vulcano di Elisa Nerello Mascalese is a captivating red wine that embodies the unique terroir of Mount Etna in Sicily. Produced by Elisa Trovato, this wine is crafted from organically farmed Nerello Mascalese grapes grown on the volcanic slopes of Etna. The 2019 vintage showcases the depth and character of this indigenous Sicilian varietal. The wine undergoes a 15-day maceration and fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by aging for 12 months in used Slavonian oak barrels, allowing it to develop complexity and elegance. The result is a wine that reflects the deep relationship between the volcanic terroir and traditional winemaking practices. On the nose, Il Vulcano di Elisa presents aromas of red berries, earthy minerals, and subtle floral notes. The palate is smooth and balanced, with hints of spice and a clean, lingering finish. This wine is a testament to the dedication and passion of Elisa Trovato, who honors the generations of women who worked the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna before her.
