Spec sheet
The wine
Le Sabbie dell'Etna Rosso is, together with its white variant, the progenitor of Firriato's decades-long production on Etna. The wines of the Cavanera Etnea estate are elitist by birth and dedicated to exclusivity. Labels designed and dedicated to the most demanding winelovers. Le Sabbie dell'Etna Rosso is revealed in the glass with a delicious and complex bouquet with notes of cinnamon, black pepper, black currant and cherries in alcohol. Only the extraordinary terroir of the north side of Etna, on the slopes of the largest active volcano in Europe, could generate this wine of great personality. The volcanic soils of the estate are characterized by the high concentration of nutritional elements such as phosphorus, which determines the concentration of sugars in the must, manganese which increases the plant's ability to defend against cold, and iron which contributes to the pigmentation of the varieties. black berry, determining the brilliant color of the grapes of the native Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes.
