Wine > Vini rossi Vita Nova Etna Rosso Doc Josè Maria 2019 - Vita Nova 0.75 lt

The Etna Rosso Josè Maria di Vita Nova is a tribute in its name to the parents of the owner and founder Marco Giachino. "When you taste an Etna Rosso, the glass that contains it becomes a cup, a trophy to be raised as a sign of victory, because every sip of this wine is the result of a daily struggle: against the heights, the slopes and the extreme temperatures , a fight in which, however, ultimately, the volcano is always on the side of those who work to return this nectar to the community". These are the words of Marco who only approached Etna viticulture in 2015 and was struck by it. The Nerello Mascalese vines grow at 600m above sea level, in the Contrada Feudo di Mezzo. The vineyard, which has northern exposure, is composed partly of young vines (replanted with the traditional sapling) and partly of vines around 60 years old, which arise on volcanic soil, lean, shallow and rich in mineral substances. The grape harvest is late and the choice of bunches is manual and rigorous. The vinification is traditional in red, with maceration for 10-15 days, followed by aging for 12 months, which takes place partly in steel, partly in French oak barriques, never new.
ETNA ROSSO JOSÉ MARIA VITA NOVA: TASTING
Etna Rosso Josè Maria by Vita Nova is light and bright ruby red; on the nose it is very elegant, with floral notes of geranium, cherries in jam, dried plum and black pepper, then hints of vanilla and tobacco. In the mouth it is fine, ethereal, with a beautiful freshness and the characteristic dark minerality. A wine with great versatility, it is very good accompanied by fresh pasta maltagliati with black cabbage and sausage.

Estimated between Thursday 29 May and Thursday 5 June.
