Description and technical sheet

The Etna Rosso DOC Le Sabbie dell'Etna di Firriato comes from Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes grown in the territory of Castiglione di Sicilia (CT) in the vineyards of the Cavanera Etnea estate. Here the vineyards insist on loamy-sandy soils, of volcanic origin, with a high drainage capacity, at an average altitude of 700 metres above sea level. The vinification process took place in thermo-controlled stainless steel tanks and involved an alcoholic fermentation of 14 days at a temperature of 26-27° C. The refinement took place for 12 months in 12HL Slavonian oak barrels and for a further 6 months in bottle.

LE SABBIE DELL'ETNA BIANCO FIRRIATO: TASTING

Le Sabbie dell'Etna Rosso di Firriato shines in the glass with a ruby red colour with purple hues. On the nose, it has penetrating hints of ripe plum, berries in jam and potpourri blend harmoniously with delicate notes of dark spices. The sip is rich and balanced, supported by a graceful tannic texture and a well integrated minerality that persists in the final played once again on the fruit. At the table, it goes well with cured meats as well as first and second courses based on vegetables and red meats.
