The 2020 Etna Rosso Nero di Sei wafts up with a blend of cedar shavings, cloves and dried black cherries. This is juicy and energetic, with lifted textures and vividly ripe wild berry fruits complemented by hints of blood orange. It finishes fresh with chalky mineral tones and hints of licorice.

Palmento Costanzo
A property of 14 hectares in Contrada Santo Spirito, Passopisciaro, on the northern slopes of Etna. 10 hectares are planted with vines on walled terraces on volcanic rocks between 600-800 metres altitude. The Costanzos came here in 2011 - they are from Catania - and meticulously restored the palmento (the word for the olive millstone which gave the farm its name). The vineyards are planted employing the ‘gobelet' method and farmed organically. The 2017’s are certified organic. This is an amazing new project which has been given all the investment and attention it needed to make great wines from the outset.
