Vinification of the VV Vigne Vecchie Contrada Sciaranuova Etna Rosso by Tenuta Tascante

The vinification of the VV Vigne Vecchie Contrada Sciaranuova Etna Rosso begins in the vineyard with the cultivation of the grapes. Here, the vines grow at altitudes of about 800 to 1,000 meters above sea level. The volcanic soils of Etna provide a unique minerality and depth of flavor. The grapes are hand-harvested to select only the best fruits. The harvest usually takes place late in the year when the grapes are fully ripe and have developed their optimal aroma.

The vinification itself occurs under controlled temperatures to preserve the fruitiness and aromas. After gentle pressing, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, which softens the acidity and adds complexity. The aging takes place in French oak barrels, where the wine matures over a period of 12 to 14 months to develop its complete aromas and refine its structure.
