The Nerello Mascalese vines for this exceptional rosato grow on the northern slopes of Mount Etna at an altitude of over 600 metres – barren, stony soils of pure lava rock characterise the microclimate and give the wine its clear contours. The wine is matured purely in stainless steel to emphasise freshness, purity and terroir expression. Delicate pink in the glass with a copper-coloured shimmer. The bouquet is elegant and restrained: wild strawberry, pink grapefruit, a hint of blood orange and some fennel green. Lively on the palate, with juicy fruit, animating acidity and mineral tension. The cool finish is dry, precise and surprisingly long. An Etna Rosato with Alpine freshness and Mediterranean soul – ideal for warm evenings, grilled fish or a classic insalata di mare. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light, bright pink colour. Delicate aroma of vineyard peach and raspberries on the nose, followed by thyme and sea breeze. Juicy and refreshing on the palate, animating acidity, lingering, salty final." Falstaff

"The 2024 Etna Rosato Pietradolce emerges from the glass with a delicious blend of chamomile, candied citrus and sweet melon. It is cool and incredibly fresh, washing over the palate with vibrant white strawberry fruit accompanied by crisp mineral notes. The long finish ends with a salty concentration." Vinous

"A complex and ambitious style for a rosé, with a leafy character, restrained fresh flowers and a lively palate with medium body and zesty acidity. It shines with tension and savouriness. Weighty, polished finish." James Suckling
