ERSE ROSSO CONTRADA MOSCAMENTO 1911
OUR WINES
Eruzione 1911 is a selection from old trees located close to a volcanic sciara rich in basalt, iron and manganese, with this Cru we want to give a frame of a single fragment, unique in terms of micro-climate and expression. The vinification and refinement process lasts 24 months in Tonneaux and Large French Oak Barrels, then 12 months in the bottle to guarantee finesse and structure. Balsamic and fresh notes of undergrowth, Mediterranean scrub and spices stand out on the nose for a Nerello with great aging potential, profound and austere in its feminine elegance.
