The Character

Overall Graceful, structured expression of Mt. Etna
Aromas Violets, strawberries, Mediterranean herbs
Mouthfeel Elegant and fresh
Tasting Notes It opens with aromas of wild cherry, dried rose petals, and a hint of savory herbs. On the palate, bright red fruit is layered with subtle spice and a mineral core, carried by fine tannins and vibrant acidity. Aged in French oak, the wine shows elegance and depth without overshadowing the purity of the fruit. Balanced and expressive, it’s a wine that speaks clearly of its high-altitude origins and the character of Etna’s southern slopes.
Pairings Pappardelle and mushrooms

The Story

The grapes of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, harvested at 900 m.a.s.l., produce an Etna red that ages 12 months in large French oak barrels. The vines are situated on the south side of the volcano, restless creator of the minerality that distinguishes the typical terroir and the wines of our family.
ORIGIN OF THE NAME: Etna is very rich in volcanic caves, full of wonders and spectacular galleries. Grotta del Gelo is the cave par excellence of Etna and is considered the southernmost glacier in Europe for its formation of stalactites and stalagmites. It gives its name to our Etna DOC red wine, restoring the meaning of the uniqueness of the territory and the sense of a unique experience.
