Sentiero delle Gerle, Etna Rosso DOC by Mandrarossa, originates on the north-eastern slopes of Mount Etna, precisely in Linguaglossa. Here, the territory is unique due to its volcanic composition and particular microclimate. This area is characterised by black soils rich in minerals and significant temperature variations between day and night. These are ideal conditions for growing Nerello Mascalese, a native Sicilian grape variety known for its elegance and complexity. The grapes are harvested by hand in the second half of October, expressing the best characteristics of the territory and giving life to wines of great finesse and longevity. In the countryside, the grapes are grown using the spurred cordon method and, after harvesting, are immediately destemmed and crushed. Fermentation takes place in medium-sized fermentation tanks, with maceration for 10-12 days at a controlled temperature. The wine is then aged partly in stainless steel and partly in oak barrels, with regular racking to ensure the stability and evolution of the product. In the glass, it has a garnet red colour with bright ruby reflections. The nose reveals complex aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, spices and coffee. On the palate, it is full and well-balanced, thanks to elegant tannins and moderate freshness. This Etna red wine pairs perfectly with roasted or braised red meats and cured meats. Its structure and complexity also make it ideal with rich Mediterranean dishes. Mandrarossa is a wine project that began in 1999 in the heart of south-western Sicily, in Menfi. It is the result of over twenty years of research into the terroir to identify the best combinations of grape varieties and territory.
