Etna Rosso
Tenuta San Michele
This wine is closely linked to the tradition and terroir of the Etna area. The enological techniques used enhance the varietal characteristics of the vines used. Its personality, elegance and sensorial complexity are closely linked to the particular terroir.
The very mineral taste is reminiscent of lava and volcanic sands. This wine was bottled for the first time in 1982 and continues to be the most important product for our company even now.
Grilled red and white meats, fresh pasta with meat sauce, grilled “Etna sausage” with “cauliceddi”.
