Mofete Rosso 2020 - Etna DOC - Palmento Costanzo

MOFETE ETNA ROSSO DOC 2020 - PALMENTO COSTANZO

The "Mofete" is an Etna Rosso DOC that the Costanzo family, owner of the Palmento Costanzo winery, creates starting from two native vineyards: Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio.

It is characterized by a pale ruby ​​red color, has a bouquet with notes of red fruits, a slight spiciness and some hints of volcanic ash, on the palate it is very fresh, with sweet tannins and a savory finish.

The harvest, carried out in mid-October, is done manually. Then it is fermented in steel and left to refine for 50% 12 months in steel barrels, and for the other 50% 12 months in oak barrels. Finally, after bottling it is left for another 12 months to refine.

Excellent to combine with a good second course of meat, perhaps Beef or Lamb. But just as good to combine with a typical pasta dish.
