Al Cantara 'O Scuru o Scuro' Etna Rosso DOC
A superb example of Etna Rosso, and why the Etna wines enjoy a meteoric rise in fame across the world. This is produced from low-yielding Nerello Mascalese vines over 80 years old. Hand picked, steel fermented before 10 months aging in French oak Tonneau.
The name of the wine comes from the sonnet by the famous Sicilian poet Nino Martoglio. "Deep Dark" is a beautiful poem by Nino Martoglio. It was published in 1895 with illustrations by his brother Giovanni. The poem is part of the famous book "La Centona," which is dedicated to Luigi Capuana, a well-known Sicilian writer. The poet Martoglio in this compendium describes the Sicilian "mafia" of the time.
An exotic nose of blueberry, blackberry and pistachio, rose petal and wild herbs. Rich and very complex wine, forest fruits, ripe strawberry, obvious oaky notes, with spice and vanilla. Immaculate.
