Federico Curtaz - Il Purgatorio Etna Rosso

Etna Rosso DOC

Grape variety: Nerello mascalese
Bottles produced: about 5000
Production area: Biancavilla
Soils: rocks and sands of volcanic origin
Vinification and aging: in oak barrels of various sizes

Deep wine, with great tannic silkiness, coming from ancient vineyards grown on volcanic deposits dating back to about 15,000 years ago. This wine is a Piedmontese interpretation of Etna where acidity and volume play a great role.

The Purgatory:
it is the place of production, an ancient Etnean district, one of a thousand. A land of choice. Where the wine has a strong character without mediation, like the interpretation I have given and will always give of Etna wines.
