The Etna Rosso Riserva district Zottorinoto cru is a wine with a brilliant ruby-garnet color. On the nose the floral and Mediterranean herbal notes give breath to the hints of fruit among which blueberries, raspberries and blackberries stand out, wrapped in a spiciness of vanilla and black tea. On the palate the body is velvety and enveloping, savory on the palate and relaxed in the noble and chiseled tannins, long persistence
