Neri, Etna Rosso DOC 2024

This red comes from the eastern slopes of Etna, around Linguaglossa, at an altitude of 700 meters. The vineyards are 5 to 25 years old and are rooted in volcanic soil. This altitude and soil give the wine freshness and a recognizable stony character.

What you smell
Ripe red fruit with a hint of sweet spices. Clear and inviting, without being heavy.

What you taste
Smooth and balanced on the palate, with a saline, stony undertone from the volcanic soil. The tannins provide structure without drying out your mouth. Fresh acidity keeps it lively, with a pleasant, long finish.

How it's made
95% Nerello Mascalese and 5% Nerello Cappuccio. Classic red vinification in open vats with pumping over, 8 to 10 days of skin contact. Afterwards, five months of aging in stainless steel, which preserves the fresh fruit and minerality instead of adding woody notes.

Serve
Serve at 16 to 18 °C. Decanting is not necessary. A large wine glass helps release the aromas.

Pairs well with

  • Grilled red meat: the fresh acidity cuts through fat and the tannins complement the bite of the meat.
  • Roasted vegetables: the stony undertone aligns with the smoky, sweet notes of roasted vegetables.
  • Poultry with herbs: the light body doesn't overpower white meat, and the herbaceous nose connects with thyme or rosemary.

Neri is een familiebedrijf op de noordoostflank van de Etna, opgericht ruim een eeuw geleden door Vincenzo, die met een fortuin uit Amerika grond kocht in Linguaglossa. De vierde generatie werkt er nog altijd op dezelfde negen hectare wijngaard en olijfgaard.

De Etna is een actieve vulkaan, en de wijngaarden liggen op de hellingen ervan, tot boven de 1000 meter. Die hoogte en de jonge vulkanische grond geven wijnen die qua stijl dichter bij Bourgondië liggen dan bij de rest van Sicilië.
