Pietradolce

The 100-year-old, free-range vineyards from which this wine is made are scattered among the most vocated areas on Etna's northern slope. After a 10-month maceration, the resulting wine has an explosive, mineral bouquet with hints of exotic fruit and herbs, the thick, silky sip is enlivened by vibrant acidity for a very long, fresh finish.
