Palmento Costanzo Prefillossera 2017 Etna Rosso DOC JeroBoam 3 Liters

Palmento Costanzo Prefillossera 2017 Etna Rosso DOC is a red wine of great personality, an authentic expression of Etna and the winery's work on historic vineyards and volcanic soils. The JeroBoam format of 3 liters makes it ideal for important occasions, convivial dinners, and moments when you want to serve a wine with a strong territorial identity, elegant and engaging.

Territory and wine style

The wine originates in Contrada Santo Spirito, in Passopisciaro, on Etna, one of the most representative contexts for viticulture on the volcanic slope. Here, the Nerello Mascalese, predominantly present, interacts with a small percentage of Nerello Cappuccio, giving rise to an Etna Rosso DOC with a fine yet authoritative profile. The soils of black and brown volcanic sands, along with stones and effusive rocks, contribute to defining a tense, savory, and deeply territorial style. The plants, trained as bush vines and over 100 years old, tell a precious viticultural heritage, while manual harvesting and limited yields support the quality and concentration of the wine.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a ruby red color. The bouquet is deep and rich, with hints of red fruits, nuances of graphite, volcanic dust, and balsamic notes. On the palate, it shows a enveloping texture, with velvety tannins and an important structure, well balanced by the freshness typical of the Etna territory. The finish is long, savory, and harmonious, with a persistence that invites another sip. The aging in 500-liter French oak and the subsequent resting in the bottle contribute to a mature, elegant, and well-refined profile.

Recommended pairings
