A Sophisticated Etna Rosso from the Slopes of Mount Etna
Santa Maria La Nave Calmarossa Etna Rosso 2020 is a captivating organic red wine crafted from 85% Nerello Mascalese and 15% Nerello Cappuccio, indigenous grapes grown on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy. This premium wine perfectly expresses the terroir of the region—volcanic minerality, saline complexity, and elegant tannic structure—making it a top choice for collectors and wine enthusiasts alike.
Tasting Notes: An Etna Rosso with Character and Elegance
On the nose, Calmarossa 2020 opens with enticing aromas of baked red fruits, including wild cherry and raspberry, interwoven with hints of vanilla, rose petals, violets, balsamic, and delicate leather. Nuanced notes of cinnamon, cocoa, graphite, and liquorice add layers of complexity. The palate is full-bodied yet refined, offering silky tannins, a harmonious balance, and a mineral-driven, savoury finish that lingers beautifully.

| Winery | The 2.5-hectare vineyard lies on the southeastern slopes of Mount Etna, on an ancient vineyard site with a pre-phylloxera heart on the steep slope of an old crater. Planted at approximately 8,000 plants per hectare, the vines produce a very limited yield in the traditional alberello Etneo bush method. The climate is humid, with significant rainfall during winter and spring and strong diurnal temperature fluctuations, encouraging a gradual ripening process resulting in rich flavours, balancing acidity and aromatic complexity. The soils are black volcanic sands and rich in minerals. The vineyard is maintained with the utmost respect for the environment, without pesticides, and is in conversion to organic status. This small, authentic boutique winery on Mount Etna was established by Giuseppe "Peppino" Mulone in 1954. Santa Maria la Nave grows indigenous varieties such as Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio in an ancient vineyard with rich, fertile volcanic soils. Passion, respect for the unique microclimate, and artisanal vinification are at the heart of the Santa Maria La Nave project. These are exquisite, food-friendly wines produced in small quantities from dramatic surroundings. |
