WINERY: Azienda Agricola Tornatore
COUNTRY: Italy
REGION: Sicily
APPELLATION: Etna Rosso DOC
GRAPE: 100% Nerello Mascalese
WINEMAKER NOTES: A rising star in the Etna region, Tornatore has become one of the region's biggest and most respected wineries. Their vineyards are located at an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level on the north side of this active volcano.
TASTING NOTES: The Etna Rosso has notes of red berries, morello cherry and black cherry on the nose. Mediterranean herbs and white pepper framed in glossy tannins and fresh acidity. The palate is characterized by a surprising fullness, flavour and persistence.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Etna Rosso is very food friendly and versatile. It can be paired perfectly with a wide variety of dishes. Tomato sauces are a natural pairing for this wine; but it also goes great with roasted meats, sausages, meatballs; and oily fish like smoked sardines.
ABOUT THE WINERY: A long story - of love and passion, of knowledge and respect for places - which has lasted for over a century and a half, since Francesco Tornatore's great-grandfather began farming back in 1865. The Tornatore family has continued, from generation to generation, in the path traced then, developing agricultural activity without ever neglecting the attachment and respect towards the traditions and the territory in which they have their roots.
