    Elegant and full of volcanic character, this blend of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio opens with notes of brimstone, crushed mineral and delicate forest berry. There is a spicy, slightly thorny side to the wine that becomes more apparent on the palate.

    Rosso di Verzella is a rich expression from Mt. Etna with luscious aromas of barbecue smoke, bacon, wild berry and slate roof. The wine is elegant and powerful at the same time and offers a fine berry texture in the mouth.
