The Nicosia “Cru” wines of Etna come from the Monte Gorna estate, located in the Trecastagni area, very close to the wine cellar. A red and a white wine, made with organic grapes, that authentically represent the great expression that this terroir and its native vines can offer. These DOC wines are the demonstration that on the volcano each slope, each area, each vineyard can produce wines with different characteristics, giving unique and unrepeatable sensations. The composition of the eruptive materials gave life to composite soils, often made up small sized pumice stones, known as "ripiddu", found mostly on extinguished volcanic cones such as Monte Gorna; thier elevated drainage capacity and their wealth of potassium paly an important role in balancing the grape's maturation process. Even the climate distinguishes the Etna area respect to the rest of Sicily. The average temperatures on the mountains are lower and the climate also changes depending on the slope and the alyitude. From a winemaking standpoint, the wine diurnal temperature range is fundamental, as it gives the wines their goog freshness and elegant aromas. Nerello Mascalese is a black grape hystorically prevalent on Etna, that takes its name from Mascali territory where it was selected a few centuries ago. This is the base of the Etna Rosso DOC, which must contain at least 80% of Nerello Mascalese grapes.
The 2020 Etna Rosso Contrada Monte Gorna opens with a mentholated freshness, blending wild strawberries with rose petals and licorice. It's soft-textured with pure red fruits and brisk acidity. Violet inner florals form toward the close. The 2020 finishes grippy and long, leaving a pleasantly chewy sensation and a web of fine tannins.
