Nerello Mascalese from Contrada Feudo Pignatore, on the northern slope of Etna (at 700m above sea level), makes up this rosé. Direct pressing maintains a very pale coral colour and spontaneous fermentation in old casks enhances the texture of the wine to give weight to the mid-palate. Only three months in oak and ageing in inert vessels gives additional smoky complexity. The wine is sold in dark-coloured bottles and shows all the vivid precision typical of the vintage, with long potential for ageing of around six to seven years.
