Terrazze dell'Etna "Carusu" Sicily, Italy, 2015

Overview of the Wine

Terrazze dell’Etna is nature, is passion, is Etna reflecting its unique land in the product: it is the desire to create excellent wines in a place where all is possible.

Nerello Mascalese, is the main grape of the winery, a common thread that binds the entire production.

The company’s logo represents a stylized bunch of grapes: the grapes are very large showing the attention to detail and meaning that every single grape will guarantee a wine of extraordinary quality. The packaging’s colors recall those of the Etna’s landscape: the brown color for the lava’s soil where the vineyards are being grown, the red color for the volcano’s fire, and the white for the volcanic ashes.

The unrivaled result of centuries-old traditions, of the use of modern technologies and of a constant effort to protect the natural local environment, our wine, endowed with a unique personality, is the very essence of a sun-drenched Sicily, full of warmth and passion.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby color with garnet hues. Elegant perfumes of ripe red fruit and spice. This wine is fruit forward with soft and rounded tannins and a fresh finish.

From Wine Buyer - a sensational value from one of the ethos-centric brands in Sicily... all the wines from this producer are made with the highest level of sustainability in mind.  This is really in a magic spot showing volcanic terroir, great balance and structure ... and tremendous value.  Highly recommended - but when its gone its gone ... made via special purchase from this TINY importer.  I also recommend the BLANC from the same house.

Product size: 750ml
