Exactly what I wanted
Grabbed it on a recommendation from the shop and I am glad I did. The finish is much longer than I expected.

Single-contrada, pre-phylloxera vines. Bright acidity keeps it lively through the meal. The tannin is firm and needs food or air.

Why we buy this one.
Black volcanic terraces on Etna’s northern face, up at 900 meters where the nights are cold. Native yeasts only, minimal sulfur, and no fining or filtration. Serve it a touch cooler than you think — around 15°C is right.

Exactly what I wanted
Not a shy wine — give it twenty minutes in a decanter and it opens right up.

Perfect with Sunday dinner
Paired it with a slow-cooked ragù and it was close to perfect. Will be reordering by the case.
