The wine region of Etna
Sicilian DOC on the volcano's flanks (400-1,000 m), the first DOC of Sicily (1968). Signature Nerello Mascalese (80% min. in red): fine, taut reds with signature notes of tangy cherry, wild strawberry, dried herbs, volcanic smoke, sweet spices and saline minerality, tight tannins and a cutting freshness - compared to Burgundian Pinot Noir. Carricante (60% min.
The wine region of Sicily
Major qualitative renewal. Sunny, expressive reds: fleshy, spicy Nero d'Avola (black cherry, blackberry, liquorice), fine, mineral Nerello Mascalese on Etna (recalls Pinot Noir), light, crisp Frappato in Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG. Lively, saline whites: Catarratto, fat, iodised Grillo, taut Carricante, floral Inzolia. Amber, walnutty fortified Marsala.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
