What kind of wine is Etna Rosso DOC 'Chiuse Vidalba' 2018 - Torre Mora?

Produced on the slopes of Mount Etna, Etna Rosso DOC 'Chiuse Vidalba' 2018 - Torre Mora is a wine with character, made from alberello-trained vineyards located at an altitude of approximately 700 meters. This appellation, one of Sicily's most prized, perfectly expresses the unique combination of volcanic soil, temperature variations, and indigenous grape varieties. It is primarily made from Nerello Mascalese with a small percentage of Nerello Cappuccio, grapes that lend elegance, structure, and longevity. The result is a medium-bodied, balanced red wine, capable of combining finesse with mineral intensity.

Vintage Details

The 2018 vintage on Etna was characterized by regular climatic conditions, with mild summers and good diurnal temperature variations. These conditions allowed for a slow and harmonious ripening process of the grapes, preserving their natural acidity and aromatic complexity. The harvest, carried out manually between late September and early October, ensured the selection of the best bunches, resulting in a balanced wine rich in personality.

Winemaking and Aging

After temperature-controlled fermentation, which allows the varietal aromas to remain intact, the must stays in contact with the skins to facilitate the extraction of color and tannin. Aging takes place for approximately 18 months in new French oak tonneaux, which impart elegance and complexity, followed by an additional 9 months in bottle to achieve a perfect balance between fruity and spicy components.
