°Etna Rosso DOC Sciaramanica, Bio

On the slopes of Mount Etna, where black lava soil and mountain air leave the vines little choice but to become profound, this Etna Rosso from Generazione Alessandro is born. Nerello Mascalese forms the base, supplemented by small proportions of other varieties — a combination typical for the volcanic island that gives the wine its unmistakably independent character.

In the glass, it glows in a light ruby. The nose shows ripe blackberry and blueberry, behind which lie pine resin and a hint of sandalwood — this connection of fruit and spice is a hallmark of Etna sites. On the palate, the wine presents itself with structured, firmly integrated tannins and an invigorating acidity, characteristic of Nerello Mascalese from high altitudes. In the finish, Sicilian herbs and a subtle minerality come through, reminiscent of the volcanic soil.

The wine is organically certified. Serving temperature: 16–18 °C. Well suited to grilled lamb, wild boar salami, or mature Pecorino Siciliano — but it also cuts a fine figure with pasta in a hearty tomato sauce.
