This single varietal wine is an excellent expression of the characteristics of the Nerello Mascalese grape indigenous to Etna in Sicily.  Aged for 18 months in steel (un-oaked) and at lease another 12 months in the bottle. 

The wine is deep ruby red with a good texture. The nose has hints of ripe wild berries, spices, chocolate and vanilla. In the mouth it starts light but building to a rich mid-palate and finish with grippy black fruit and good persistence.

Al-Cantara has been awarded the title of "Winery of the Year Gran Vinitaly 2023" for its wines receiving the highest scores awarded by an international jury.

The winery takes its name from the river that, on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, in Randazzo, close to Al-Cantara's land and cellars. The name "Al-Cantàra," which means "bridge" in Arabic, is meant to emphasize the link with Sicily and symbolizes the harmonious and innovative combination of wine, art and poetry that is the winery's hallmark. Not surprisingly, the names of the wines are inspired by poems by Sicilian authors.  

The vineyards sit atabout 620 metres above sea level, where warm days and cool nights encourage a long ripening period concentrating the flavours in the grapes while retaining balancing acidity. The soil is permeable to air and water and is rich in pumice stone and micro-elements, which allow the plants to produce a complex aromatic profile. The espalier-trained vines are spur pruned. The vineyard is cultivated following the principles of organic and biodynamic cultivation and is in conversion to organic status.
