Located on the winding slopes of the famous Etna volcano in Sicily, Italy, the Monterosso Estate is a truly exceptional winery. Nestled at an altitude ranging from 650 to 950 meters, this property offers one of the most spectacular vineyard landscapes in the world, with breathtaking views over the Etna mountain range on one side, and the Ionian Sea on the other. The Monterosso Estate stands out not only for its unique location but also for its wine philosophy, respectful of nature and the environment, based on sustainable farming practices and natural vinification without the use of chemicals. It is here, in this exceptional terroir, that the indigenous grape varieties of Etna, the Nerello Mascalese and the Carricante, are carefully cultivated, producing elegant and sophisticated wines that reflect the particular character of this region. The uniqueness of the Etna terroir confers the wines of the Monterosso Estate a singular identity. The volcanic soils, rich in minerals, lend these wines a unique aromatic depth and complexity. The climatic conditions, marked by cool nights and sunny days, allow for perfect ripening of the grapes, giving the wines an impeccable balance between acidity and aromatic richness. Among the wines of the estate, the "Nerello Mascalese" is a true expression of Sicilian terroir. This powerful, concentrated red wine offers distinctive aromas of red fruits, spices and mineral notes. The "Carricante", a white wine, is renowned for its freshness and complexity, with aromas of citrus, white flowers, and a distinct mineral touch.

The word of the wine: Deposit

Solid particles that can naturally coat the bottom of a bottle of wine. It is rather a guarantee that the wine has not been mistreated: in fact, to avoid the natural deposit, rather violent processes of filtration or cold passage (- 7 or - 8 °C) are used in order to precipitate the tartar (the small white crystals that some people confuse with crystallized sugar: just taste to dissuade you from it)
