Tornatore’s Etna Rosso Riserva is a Sicilian red wine that originates on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, in the town of Castiglione di Sicilia. Our reserve comes from the oldest estate vineyards that we call relics. Small terraces supported by ancient walls, which we have restored, are home here and there to vines with an extraordinary lifespan, which we look after with care and respect. The grapes, a few bunches, two three per plant, are vinified in wooden vats where they macerate for about two weeks. Upon racking, the resulting wine remains to decant, until it clarifies, in concrete tanks before being racked into 25-hl French oak barrels. From this point on, a long journey of refinement begins. Only after 3 years of aging in the same barrel is the wine racked into concrete tanks for another six months before bottling. At this point for another six months we await him by evaluating his evolution. For us, this product represents the perfect synthesis of Etna’s magnetism where it takes a lot of patience and time to do well. Intense ruby red, typical mineral notes on the nose, with clear hints of red fruits, especially morello cherry, caper, seaweed and red mulberries. In the mouth it is crisp, fresh with surprising savory length and fullness. Endowed with good structure denoting sure longevity. Alcohol content 14%. Show more
