Nicosia Etna Rosso Lenza di Munti 2018

Served @ DBFW's annual Tre-Bicchieri tasting  

Winemaker Notes: Lenza di Munti Etna Rosso has a complex and intense nose of red berries, aromatic herbs and spices. On the palate it is robust, well-balanced and persistent. It's a blend of indigenous grapes Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, grown on the lava terraces located at an altitude of about 720 m asl on the Southeastern slopes of Mount Etna. This wine combines the typical elegance of mountain wine and minerality due to volcanic origin.

Sleek and slightly austere, but with wonderful red-berry fruit and a slew of wild herbs, this is an exciting, lighter-weight Etna red with a crisp, stony finish. From vineyards at 720 meters above sea level. Drink or hold.
