Black volcanic soil rich in stones. Massimiliano Calabretta does a massal seleciton from his best, older Cappuccio vines to the plant the vineyard from which this wine is made. Grapes are sourced from a vineyard in the Cadlerara cru of Etna. Nerello Cappuccio is an indigneous grape to the Etna zone where it makes up 20% of the Etna DOC. Massimiliano Calabretta says the grape is more difficult to grow – it is more susceptible to disease than its more well-known sibling Nerello Mascalese. Notes of cherry and raspberry, silky yet savory and mineral.
