Cantine Nicosia Etna Rosso Contrada Monte Gorna 2019 750 ML

This classic Etna red has intense volcanic-lava character and an exciting interplay of fine tannins and restrained ripeness. More than enough red-cherry and redcurrant fruit to make this immediately appealing. Long, dry and mineral finish.

Nicosia wines are a tribute to the heart of Sicily, obtained from native vineyards and international varieties that find an ideal terroir on the island, with expressions of rare excellence.
