Margherita Platania has breathed new life into the family’s vineyards, which lie between 900m-1000m above sea level on the southern slope of the volcano. Craftsmanship is aimed at creating wines that demonstrate the ageing potential of Etna’s wines. The Millemetri Rosso, on the market with the 2013 vintage, demonstrates respect for the vineyard in its concentrated fruit and a production process that further emphasises this (the use of inert vessels and long ageing on the lees and in the bottle). The wine is youthful, dominated by crunchy red fruits and smooth, perfectly integrated tannins. A vibrant wine that appears very youthful, even after all this time.
