Palari Rocca Coeli Etna Rosso, Sicily, Italy 2016 Case (6x750ml)

Rocca Coeli Rosso comes from a small vineyard (less than 2 hectares) on the flanks of Etna, between Passopisciaro and Solicchiata. Terroir is volcanic and the soil consists mainly of pozzolan//lava, ash and clay. The vineyards are at 800 meters and are managed naturally from the start. The 80-year-old vines are harvested manually and the yield is very low. Tasting Notes: Aromas of smoke, flint, dark currant, rose and Mediterranean scrub. Packed with elegance and mineral tension, there are layers of morello cherry, cranberry, star anise, thyme and graphite against fine tannins and crisp acidity.
