TASTING NOTES

Production

Etna Rosso Riserva comes from the district of the same name on the northern slope of Mount Etna, known as the area best suited to quality wine production. More precisely, it is located in the municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia, at an altitude of 650 metres. Etna Rosso Riserva is made from Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes. The Riserva comes from the estate’s oldest vines, whose grapes are vinified in wooden vats where they macerate for around 15 days. After racking, the wine is left to settle in concrete tanks until it clears, before being transferred to French oak barrels. From this point onwards, a long ageing process begins, which ends only after 3 years in the same barrel. The wine is then transferred to concrete tanks for a further 6 months before being bottled. This wine perfectly encapsulates the allure of Etna, where patience and time are essential for excellence.

Organoleptic Characteristics

In the glass, it is an intense ruby red, with typical mineral notes on the nose and distinct hints of red fruits such as morello cherry, caper, seaweed and red mulberry. On the palate, it is crisp and fresh, with surprising savouriness, length and fullness. It has good structure and is characterised by assured longevity.

Occasion and Pairing

A wine with an intense, spicy bouquet, perfect with roasts, boiled meats and other meat dishes.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

THE WINERY

Tornatore

Name: Etna Rosso Riserva
Brand: Signorvino
SKU: VFR02092 2017750
Price: 64.9 EUR

The beginning of vine cultivation along with the production of wine by the Tornatore family dates back to 1865 when the great-grandfather of the current owner took up farming. In 1910, Giuseppe, the current owner's grandfather, built a house with an adjoining millstone in the Piano Fiera district with an adjoining 2 hectares of vineyard, to which a further 2 hectares were added on the northern slope of Etna in the Piano Felci district at an altitude of 1,000 metres above sea level. The Tornatore family has always had a detailed knowledge of the territories of the municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia, since grandfather Giuseppe and uncle Giovanni were appointed cadastral surveyors in the early 1930s, accompanying the topographer to survey parcels, to define boundaries and names of districts. A family, therefore, with deep roots in its territory of origin, which has never neglected its attachment to and respect for it and its traditions in successive generations. Name and address of producer/distributor: Azienda Agricola Tornatore - Via Pietramarina, 8A - CAP 95012 Castiglione di Sicilia. Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
