NC- 2021 Barone di Villagrande "Contrada" Etna Rosso

Barone di Villagrande is a renowned winery nestled in the picturesque region of Sicily, Italy. With a rich history dating back to the 17th century, the estate boasts a legacy of winemaking excellence and a commitment to crafting wines of exceptional quality.

Situated on the fertile slopes of Mount Etna, Europe's highest active volcano, Barone di Villagrande benefits from unique volcanic soils and a favorable microclimate, ideal for cultivating grapes with distinctive character and complexity. The estate's vineyards are meticulously tended, with a focus on sustainable practices to preserve the natural environment and nurture the vines.

"The first thing you perceive is the perfume of Volcano, flowers fruits and balsamic scents coming from the two years in the chestnut barrels. A chestnut wood that comes straight from the estate’s forest, that has been watching the grapes for its entire journey from the vineyard to the bottle. The tasting feeling is surprising, because the tannins of the wood – that is fundamental – is combined with an unusual touch of vivacity, obviously gentle and elegant."
