Born in the shadow of Mount Etna, Elisa Trovato knew one thing at an early age: The deep relationship between the volcano and the land was to shape her future. She set out on a unique journey of true dedication to the winemaking women who came before her. Produced at high altitude on the slopes of the volcano, Mt.Etna, with local Nerello Mascalese grapes. This is a wine with a very complex aroma that tells of an elegant and charming territory. The Rosso is hand-picked, and de-stemmed, with a 15-day maceration and a 15-day fermentation. Secondary malolactic fermentation is followed by 8 months of aging in used oak barrels.
