ERSE ROSSO
OUR WINES
Etna DOC Rosso, from a blend of Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese, is the photograph of the traditional Etna vineyard, the most fragrant Etna DOC of Fessina, dedicated to the Greek goddess of dew. A “morning wine” for its strong fruit and pleasant freshness, born from a vineyard facing east, therefore sheltered from the afternoon heat. Elegance and strong territoriality are the two main qualities. Full-bodied and silky, it satisfies the taste of those looking for a daily wine with the strength of Nerelli and immediate enjoyment.
