Moganazzi, DOC, 2018, Etna Rosso, Tenuta delle Tere Nere

The vineyard, aesthetically superb, is entirely and steeply terraced at roughly 700 metres altitude with 80 year old vines. The entire production is roughly 3,000 bottles plus some magnums. The wine is brilliant: tightly woven texture, with a luminous and athletic character, a youthful grip and all the effortless beauty of a Greek sculpture. With age the wine’s fine drive gives way to a soft suppleness, a sustained sunset richness; more intimate and resounding.

Colour: intense ruby
Nose: complex, with a delicate floral fragrance
Flavour: it’s a wine with a “grip”, a soft tannin with structure
