Etna Rosso DOC Prefillossera 2019 by Palmento Costanzo is a red wine from Etna with great personality, made primarily from Nerello Mascalese with a small percentage of Nerello Cappuccio.

Territory and wine style

The production takes place on Etna, in an area that expresses one of the most recognizable profiles of Italian wine. The vineyards are located on black and brown volcanic sands, with stones and effusive rocks, in a context that contributes to providing tension, sapidity, and aromatic complexity. The bush training, supported by chestnut poles, and the advanced age of the plants tell of a precious viticultural heritage, while the limited yield helps to prioritize concentration and precision. The result is a classic yet deep Etna Rosso DOC, where the territory always remains the protagonist.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense and luminous ruby red. On the nose, it offers a wide and deep bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruit, hints of graphite, volcanic dust, and balsamic references. The sip is enveloping and well-defined, with a velvety tannic structure and a harmonious progression. The structure is significant but supported by freshness and sapidity that extend the finish and make the wine dynamic. The persistence is long and consistent with an elegant, territorial, and incisive style.
