Cavanera Contrada Zucconero Etna Rosso DOC 2020 - Sciara del Tiglio Firriato

Etna Rosso DOC Contrada Zucconero - Sciara del Tiglio Cantine Firriato

This Etna Rosso DOC is a very elegant Sicilian wine that stands out thanks to a very intense aromatic profile.

It brings with it all the traits of the Etna Volcano, and, thanks to a passage in tonneaux for 1 year and a further passage of 6 months in the bottle, it releases great tannins and a great balance.

It presents itself to the eye with a brilliant ruby ​​red color, presenting a bouquet of fruity and floral scents, where plum, blackberries and dried roses dominate spices such as nutmeg and black pepper.

In the mouth it is very full-bodied, rich in fruity hints and tannins which give a harmonious persistence.
