INFO: Tornatore stands as one of Etna’s historic families, farming the volcano’s northern slope since 1865. Tornatores’ vineyards on the slopes of Mount Etna are among Europe’s most dramatic, planted on steep, terraced volcanic soils at altitudes between 600 and 850 metres. Old vines of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Capuccio thrive in lava-rich soils, shaped by strong winds and wide diurnal shifts.

 only partially crushed before being transferred to concrete tanks, where maceration takes place for around 10–12 days at temperatures of 22–25 °C. Following fermentation, the wine remains in contact with the skins for a few additional days before being drawn off.

The nose is bright and expressive, offering clear aromas of red berries, morello cherry and black cherry. On the palate, the wine is defined by finely balanced tannins and an unexpected depth, delivering impressive flavour, richness and a long, satisfying finish.
