"Due to the favourable climatic conditions, 2008 was the best vintage to date, at that point, from Andrea’s Etna estate. This is Nerello Mascalese, from vines between 60 and 120 years old.Deeply coloured and clinging to the glass, this shows inherent richness from the outset. The nose is stunning, presenting opulent, sweet red fruit, underscored by characteristic volcanic minerality. The palate reflects the aromatics offered on the nose, voluptuous old vine fruit complemented by silken tannins – a lovely wine with tremendous personality.
