A true homage to tradition: the old school called wines made in this way "pista e'mmutta", literally "press (pista) and put in the barrel straight away (mmutta)".
The result was the very traditional and easy-drinking red wine from Etna: a light and crisp red, super refreshing and able to match fruitiness and minerality with irresistible drinkability.
