Patria 'Femina' - Etna Rosso

2021

Nerello Mascalese

Etna Rosso, Sicily, Italy

The history of Cantine Patria began when the Di Miceli family bought the property over 70 years ago. Named as an ode to femininity, it is believed this wine embodies elegance and delicacy. The vines lie just 700 meters above sea level while the property itself lies between the extinct volcano Mt. Mojo and the highest active volcano in Europe. The volcanic soils on the property help create mineral driven wines typically with more distinct bodies when it comes to red wines. Tasting notes of berries, cherries and a touch of spice complemented by velvety tannins makes this wine an ideally enjoyed as an aperitif and paired with fish tartare or oysters.
