PERSONAL TASTING NOTES

A refined Nerello Mascalese with dark cherry, wild berries, rosemary, thyme and a subtle smoky edge. Fresh and medium-bodied, with fine tannins, earthy volcanic minerality, gentle spice and a long savoury finish.

VINIFICATION METHOD

100% Nerello Mascalese from volcanic vineyards on Etna, around 550–850 metres altitude, with vines roughly 20–64 years old. The grapes are destemmed by hand and fermented spontaneously in small open vats, with 14–21 days of skin contact and gentle daily punch-downs. After manual pressing and spontaneous malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged mainly in small concrete tanks, with a small portion in old oak, then rests in bottle for at least 12 months before release.

FABIO SIGNORELLI

Fabio Signorelli is a Sicilian winemaker and oenologist from Mazara del Vallo, where he grew up around his grandfather’s vines. After studying viticulture and oenology at the University of Palermo, he worked across Sicily, Montalcino and Umbria before moving to Mount Etna in 2010.

On Etna, Fabio spent several years working as an oenologist and vineyard consultant for established producers. This gave him time to understand the mountain’s different contrade, local growers and the way Nerello Mascalese changes with altitude, exposure and volcanic soils. He began producing wines under his own name in 2016.
