Rosé Wine
Barone di Villagrande Etna Rosato 2020
Cellar for up to 5 years. Serve chilled.
Perfect for rosé lovers looking to try something a little different, this charming wine is crafted by the Nicolosi family who have been farming their land to the east of Mount Etna since the 17th century. In 1727 Emperor Charles VI of Augsburg made Don Carmelo Nicolosi the Baron of Villagrande, a lofty title which graves the winery to this day. In recent years the family have played a pivotal role in the region, helping to get Etna recognised as a DOC wine region in 1968.
The property is now in the capable hands of Marco who specialises in making uniquely wild and inspiring wines from typical local varieties like Nerello Mascalese and Carricante. His elegant rosé is composed of Nerello Mascalese with a dash of Carricante to add extra freshness and fruit. The grapes come from the family’s vineyards in Milo and sit at 700 metres above sea level on Etna’s characteristic volcanic soils.
Once in the winery the fruit is fermented in neutral tanks to preserve the natural freshness and aromatics. The result is a delicate rosy-hued wine that’s bursting with succulent apricots, peaches, and red cherry notes with undertones of dried herbs, marzipan, and toasted almonds.
