The harvest, carried out on \u003cstrong\u003eOctober 16\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the limited yield reinforce the idea of a selected production, focused on the quality of the raw material. Aging in large oak barrels accompanies the sip without overshadowing it, preserving the varietal identity of the Nerello Mascalese and the mineral imprint of the Etna territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, this wine presents an elegant and structured profile, capable of uniting energy and softness.
