Fermentato nel nostro piccolo edificio vinicolo etneo di 300 anni, “Palmento Rosso” è ottenuto da uve coltivate biologicamente provenienti da vigne situate in alta quota sul versante nord dell’Etna. Prevalentemente di uve di Nerello Mascalese (90%), provenienti da vecchie vigne ad alberello, compiantate con piccole quantità di Nerello Cappuccio (2%), Alicante (Grenache) (3%) e uve bianche autoctone: Grecanico, Minella Bianca e Catarratto (5% in totale).

Vibrant ruby red in colour, this wine has attractive cherry and wild strawberries aromas. The palate is dry, fresh and lively.  It has red fruit flavours, juicy tannins and an underlying minerality from the volcanic soils. 

Made in a small, centuries-old traditional traditional Etnean wine vinification building called a Palmento, this wine is made predominantly from organically grown Nerello Mascalese grapes.  The vineyards are growing on volcanic soils, located on the northern face of Mt Etna and are 40-60 year old bush vines. As is tradition in the area, they have all been co-planted with small quantities of Nerello Cappuccio (2%), Alicante (Grenache) (3%) and indigenous white grapes; Grecanicao, Minella Bianca and Catarratto (5% in total).  All the fruit was hand harvested at the same time and brought to the Palmento in Solicchiata. The harvest took place during the last few days of September and the first week of October. 50% of the grapes were de-stemmed by hand, the rest remained as whole bunches.

Small amounts of Nerello Cappuccio (2%), Alicante (Grenache) (3%) and the indigenous white grapes, Minella, Catarratto and Grecanico (5% in total) which are co-planted in the Nerello Mascalese vineyards were harvested at the same time and included in the vinification process.

The fifth wine made in our 250 + year old Palmento (traditional Etnean wine vinification building).

The grapes were macerated for four days, being foot trodden several times. The fermenting must was then pressed and continued fermenting in stainless steel, used oak casks and Georgian qvevris (amphorae) for another two weeks. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation spontaneously. After six months on fine lees the wine was bottled early June 2017 without fining or filtering.

La decisa acidità e l’austera struttura tannica lasciano il posto ad una speziatura e mineralità di fondo, derivata dai terreni vulcanici.
Uve da agricoltura biodinamica, provenienti dai due vigneti nel cuore dell’Azienda Vitinicola “Vino di Anna”, in Contrada Crasà (CR) e che vengono fermentate insieme per creare questa cuvée.Vigna Jules, il primo vigneto acquistato da Anna ed Eric nel 2010, è un appezzamento di 0,45 ettari di viti ad alberello di 90 anni. Piantato principalmente a Nerello Mascalese, presenta suoli limosi di colore rosso-bruno intenso. Le uve di questo vigneto donano profondità e complessità a questo vino. Vigna Gaspard, è un anfiteatro di terrazze piantato accanto alla cantina tra il 2014 ed il 2015. Una selezione massale di viti è stata effettuata da un vecchio vigneto e le talee sono state piantate come radici proprie nel tradizionale formato a quinconce, ad alta densità. Tutte le viti sono allevate ad alberello con picchetti individuali di castagno. I terreni qui sono di colore più scuro, basaltici con un po’ di argilla. Il vigneto è principalmente Nerello Mascalese con una piccola percentuale di Nerello Cappuccio, Grenache e Grecanico. Questo giovane vigneto conferisce al vino freschezza e vivacità.

Fragrant, complex, multi-layered.  Crunchy red fruit with floral notes and underlying spice. This wine has a firm acidity and an austere tannin structure.

The second wine made from blending bio-dynamically grown grapes on the amphitheatre of terraces planted next to the winery in 2013, with those harvested from the 90 year old vineyard across the road. CR stands for Contrada Crasa, the home of “Vino di Anna”.

The young vineyard is a massal selection of Nerello Mascalese, grown on own roots, with a small percentage of Nerello Cappuccio and Grecanico; keeping with the planting tradition of the area. Both vineyards are trained as bush vines (alberello) and are farmed entirely by hand, using biodynamic preparations. Grapes are hand harvested. Harvest in 2018 was slightly earlier than normal due to the warm, dry summer conditions.  Picking occurred for both vineyards at the end of September. The grapes were destemmed by hand into a 30hl open, old wooden fermenter.

The resultant wine is fragrant, complex, multi-layered. Ripe red fruits with floral notes of orange and jasmine. This wine has a firm acidity and an austere tannin structure.
The 2017 Vino di Anna Rosso is made from a blend of two vineyards of Nerello Mascalese, one old, one new, located in the Contrada Crasa, either side of the winery. 50% of the blend is from “Vigna Jules”, a 90 year old bush vine vineyard purchased in 2010, and farmed bio-dynamically for the past 3 years. 50% is the first crop from a beautiful, amphitheatre of terraces located behind the winery.

Only the second time this wine has been made and bottled, the last time was in 2011. 80 yr old bush vines of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio (10%), grown high on the north face of Mt Etna were hand harvested. The bunches of grapes were perfect in 2014 so a 15 hL wooden cask was filled with 100% whole bunches and left to ferment for 6 weeks. The grapes were not manipulated during this time. Once sufficient tannins and flavour had been extracted and the wine was balanced in structure the grapes were pressed. The new wine was aged for 9 months in the same oak cask prior to bottling without fining or filtration.

100% whole bunch Nerello Mascalese was fermented in a 15 hL oak botti for 6 weeks. The wine was basically untouched during this time. Once it was decided that sufficient tannins and flavour had been extracted and the wine was balanced, it was basket pressed. It was then aged for 9 months in the same large oak cask prior to bottling without fining, filtration or addition of SO2.
