I Custodi Aetneus Etna Rosso 2022 1.5 L

Aetneus is the estate's old-vine, tonneaux-aged field blend from Contrada Muganazzi on Etna's north side. Vinified in stainless steel with a relatively short 12-day maceration, it's then matured in tonneaux, one-third new, for 36 months, followed by a further 24 months in bottle. Incredibly fragrant, it expresses beautiful scents of dried cherry, potpourri, wild flower meadow, spices and earth. In the mouth it's compact and bright, with juicy and spicy wild berry flavours and a depth of earthy tones lifted by floral notes and balsamic freshness. Underlying integrated tannins provide support without getting in the way.
