Etna is the new Eden of Sicilian wine. The great volcano that dominates the eastern side of the island not only offers an unparalleled wealth of soils, but also provides unique climatic conditions. Climbing its slopes, the stifling heat of Sicily gives way to a decidedly milder climate. The summit of the volcano is often even covered with snow and the grapes grown here enjoy an ideal temperature range between day and night which prolongs the ripening period, ensuring the development of aromas and flavours. The family of Count Tasca also owns some vineyards on the volcano. Here excellent wines are produced from vines native to Etna. Like this Ghiaia Nera that expresses all the impetuosity of the estate's youngest vineyards, cultivated with Nerello Mascalese grapes. The result is a dry and elegant red, characterized by a light ruby colour and an absolutely incredible bouquet, dominated by crunchy and tasty red fruits, sweet spices and an interesting mineral note that immediately brings to mind the tongues of lava that slowly descend the slopes of the volcano. On the palate it is fresh and juicy. Rich but not opulent. Balanced and pleasant from the first sip.
