From century-old, ungrafted vines on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, Calabretta’s Vigne Vecchie is a pure and traditional expression of Nerello Mascalese. The 2015 vintage spent nearly seven years aging in large neutral oak before release, a hallmark of the estate’s slow, patient winemaking approach.
Aromas of red cherry, blood orange, and dried herbs are layered with notes of earth and volcanic stone. The palate is firm yet graceful, showing bright acidity, fine tannins, and a long, savory finish. Structured and distinctive, this is a classic Etna Rosso that captures both the power and transparency of the mountain.
Varietal: Nerello Mascalese
Appellation: Etna Rosso, Sicily, Italy
Farming: Organic, hand-harvested
Style: Red. Elegant, mineral, and age-worthy
