Maugeri Etna Rosato DOC Contrada Volpare 2022
100% Mascalese grapes grown in sandy decomposed lava soil near Milo (Contrada Volpare), on the east side of Mount Etna. The vines were planted to a single hectare in 2016 on dry, lava stone wall terraces at about 700 metres above sea level. The grapes are harvested by hand in early October then taken to the cellar and left in the press at low temperature for a couple of hours. The whole bunches are then softly pneumatic-pressed and the must is fermented in French oak tonneaux of 500 litres (the grapes are harvested only for this rosĂ©, not as a âsaignĂ©eâ from red wine production). The resulting wine is aged on fine lees for four months in French oak tonneaux.
