Masseria Setteporte - 2023 - Masseria Setteporte Etna Rosso - 750 ml.

Subregion: Etna (Biancavilla / SW slopes)

Masseria Setteporte Etna Rosso is an organic red wine from the southwestern slopes of Mount Etna, made primarily from Nerello Mascalese with a touch of Nerello Cappuccio. This Etna Rosso DOC captures the unique interplay of volcanic soils and high-elevation vines: expect a fresh, fragrant profile of tart red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal and a pronounced mineral streak that is signature to the region. The estate matures this wine briefly in either neutral oak or stainless steel to preserve aromatic clarity and the natural acidity of the grapes, producing a wine that is lively on the palate and focused rather than heavy. Its finesse and moderate tannic grip make it an excellent everyday red that also excels at the table. The wine’s organic certification signals low-intervention farming and a commitment to expressing site-specific character. Masseria Setteporte’s Etna Rosso pairs beautifully with grilled red meats, roasted mushrooms, aged cheeses and classic wood-fired pizza, but it also thrives with herb-forward Mediterranean dishes and lighter braises. For collectors and curious drinkers alike, this bottling offers a precise, mineral-driven take on Etna Rosso that speaks clearly of lava-sculpted soils and cool growing conditions. Serve slightly cool from cellar temperature to emphasize its saline lift and bright acidity. Because of its freshness and clarity, the wine is approachable now yet rewards short-term cellaring for added complexity.
