For those who love elegance, something special, something unique\u2026<\/h2>\n

Wow! If you know, you know\u2026 The wines from Mount Etna are masterfully well made. Here, the volcanic soil provides exceptional minerality, the Sicilian climate intensity, and the grapes complexity.<\/p>\n

This Etna wine gift is the perfect present for the lover of Italian wines. For those who appreciate elegance, something special, something unique\u2026 And that is a beautiful, fitting gift box!<\/p>\n

Bizantino Etna Bianco<\/a><\/h3>\n

What an interesting wine this is! On the nose, intense elderflower, cedar, and a deep smoky note. Fresh, with spicy acidity that even has a savory, salty note... A long, almost salty finish with a hint of flint. Talk about minerality!<\/p>\n

Truly a wine that asks you questions\u2026 Wax, liquorice, eucalyptus, Reine Claude plums, green apple, mushrooms, lemons and smoke. Almost too much to mention. The Produtti Etna Nord Bizantino Bianco is truly very interesting!!<\/p>\n

Tenuta Antica Cavalleria DAM Etna Rosso<\/a><\/h3>\n

This Etna Rosso is sooooo delicious. The wine has an intense and full flavor. You notice the taste of red fruit, such as cherry, clearly from the first sips, followed by a soft undertone of Mediterranean herbs, mint, and vanilla. Fully ripe fruit, luscious, and with a touch of bitterness that gives the wine a kick at the end.<\/p>\n

Even Harold Hamersma goes all out and gives the wine a 9-! Hamersma: \u201cWhen tasting previous Etna Rossos, I have sometimes noted that it might be a bit easy to make associations with smokiness when it comes to volcanic wines, but those associations are definitely there. Twisting tendrils around plum, bitter-sour cherries, black pepper, spices, powdery tannins, and vanilla-sulfur matches. Refined and elegant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mount Etna provides mineral soil<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Research shows that the soil on the north side of Mount Etna is particularly rich in various minerals. And it is precisely these minerals that can impart extra complexity to the wine. Naturally, you do not taste the minerals themselves, but their presence ensures that very specific aromas are created during vinification.<\/p>\n

But there is more under the sun. The Carricante grapes are grown at a considerable altitude (600 to 700 meters). And the \u2018Grecale\u2019, a\u00a0Mediterranean sea breeze<\/strong> from the northeast, ensures that the salt adheres to the grape skin. The grapes are picked in crates and immediately cooled to 8\u00b0C. This is followed by cryofermentation at 5\u00b0C to preserve as many fresh aromas as possible.<\/p>\n

Etna wine gift as the perfect present<\/h3>\n

A gift to give on many different occasions.<\/p>\n
