An uncompromising Etna Rosso, a mirror of the harmonious landscape and hard work in the vineyard. Aetneus comes from monumental vineyards with vines up to 100 years in age on the north side of the Volcano.  It is a lively, complex and elegant wine that will develop over 10-20 in the cellar.

The grapes are harvested by hand, the first half of October with careful sorting and placed in low crates to be brought intact to the winery, where they are destemmed (80%) and crushed. Maceration continues for 12 days in special steel tanks. After racking, the wine is put into 500-liter tonneaux where malolactic fermentation takes place. Aging: about 18 months in used tonneaux. Aging: At least 12 months in bottle.

The 2021 is ruby red in the glass with slight bricking on the edge. Aromas of ripe fruit, tobacco entwined with a hint on smoke, Structured and elegant on the palate with a persistent, perfumed finish.
