HISTORY
The union between the Nerello Mascalese grapes and the soils of Etna gives life to this Sicilian red wine: Ghiaia Nera, which is born in an area rich in biodiversity, the foot of the majestic Etna volcano.
It is a red wine that presents itself through good drinkability and excellent freshness.
It is aged in large Slavonian oak barrels, which is a non-invasive type of wood, so as not to affect the typical nature of Nerello Mascalese.
