The Etna Rosato 'Lenza di Munti 720 slm' Nicosia 2022 is a rosé from the most famous volcano in Italian winemaking. It is produced from the noble Nerello Mascalese grown at 720 meters above sea level, a characteristic that gives it peculiar freshness and minerality. Notes of citrus and red fruits meet fragrant red flowers on the nose, while already at the first sip, you can feel the very typical freshness and savoriness, with great persistence.

The Etna Rosato 'Lenza di Munti 720 slm' by Nicosia embodies the volcanic soul of the island, manifesting its unique identity through every sip. The Nicosia Winery, a renowned institution in the art of winemaking, is committed to carrying on the tradition while also aiming for innovation, transforming the historical heritage of this region into high-quality wines. The label 'Lenza di Munti' is a tribute to its origin, where 'Lenza' refers to the lava terraces on which the vines thrive, while 'Munti' evokes the high altitude, at 720 meters above sea level, which gives the wine distinctive freshness and minerality.

The 'Lenza di Munti 720 slm' by Nicosia is an Etna rosato made with Nerello Mascalese vines, noble and vigorous, that sink their roots into volcanic soils composed of mineral-rich sands, at an altitude ranging between 650 and 750 meters above sea level. Exposed to the southeast, they enjoy optimal brightness that promotes uniform ripening and a full expression of the character of the grapes. The spurred cordon training method allows for precise management of the vegetation, ensuring a high-quality yield and excellent winemaking. The grapes, hand-picked in crates and carefully selected, undergo a cold maceration followed by controlled temperature fermentation to best preserve their unique aromas and flavors.

The most exciting moment comes when tasting the Etna Rosato 'Lenza di Munti 720 slm' from the Nicosia winery. Its pale pink color, enriched by brilliant reflections, anticipates an explosive bouquet that delights the senses. The floral aromas of dog rose harmoniously blend with fruity notes of currant, wild strawberries, and pink grapefruit, while a subtle hint of spices, such as pink pepper, adds an intriguing touch. The same fruity notes that characterize the olfactory profile reappear on the palate, offering a rich and enveloping tasting experience, with surprising freshness and minerality that reflect its volcanic origin. Delicious with a seafood risotto or a fresh tuna tartare, it is able to win everyone over with its unique and exuberant personality.
