Etna Rosso Contrada Zottorinoto

Benanti · Sicily · Italy

Etna Rosso Contrada Zottorinoto is an red wine from Italy, in the Sicily region (The largest island in the Mediterranean, at Italy's southern tip, dominated by Mount Etna.), made principally from Nerello Mascalese. A single-contrada Nerello Mascalese from Etna's volcanic slopes — smoky, fine and elegant.

In character, this core tier delivers the classic nerello mascalese profile — red fruit, volcanic ash, flowers, spice — with the structural stamp of Sicily and a medium-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
