2022 Surgi in tonneaux
34,00 €
Surgi Etna Rosso “in tonneau” displays a deep, intense ruby-red colour. On the nose, it reveals rich, enveloping fruit aromas, beautifully balanced by mineral hints and subtle spicy notes imparted by ageing in large oak barrels. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and remarkably well-balanced, with lingering flavours of dark berries and ripe cherries. A long, powerful finish, supported by soft, velvety tannins, completes a complex and structured tasting experience.

Vinification
During the fermentation of the organically grown Nerello Mascalese grapes, particular care was taken to ensure a carefully controlled extraction process, designed to enhance aromatic richness, colour concentration and an elegant tannic structure. This wine was conceived as a dedicated experiment to explore the evolution of Nerello Mascalese in Contrada Mille Cocchita through its interaction with large oak barrels. Following separation from the skins, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation before beginning its maturation process.
The ageing process, lasting approximately 12 months, took place entirely in tonneaux, a choice that enhanced the wine’s balance without overpowering the characteristic freshness and mineral character of the volcanic terroir.
