Key points
From our sommeliers
The Etna Rosso ‘BB’ from Tenuta del Vallone Rosso is an expressive and important red from this volcanic reality. It combines Nerello Mascalese with a small, unusual balance of Carricante to express a fruity and subtle style, but not at all 'simple'. A mountain red with a territorial profile, it ferments with whole clusters in open tanks and ages in steel for 18 months. On the nose, it reveals hints of red fruits, floral notes, and mineral nuances, while the palate is structured and savory, with a freshness that pairs well with roasted meats and aged cheeses, such as oven-roasted lamb with aromatic herbs.
Colour:
Light ruby red
Scent:
Intense cherry with hints of blackberry, peach, then subtle iodized notes
Taste:
Subtle in tannins but warm and structured, very fresh sip and a savory finish typical of a child of the volcano
