Etna DOC Metodo Classico Rosato Brut Sosta Tre Santi 2021 Nicosia

The Etna Rosé Brut Classic Method of the Sosta Tre Santi di Nicosia line was born in vineyards located on the southeastern slope of Etna. In 2022 it was named by Wine Enthusiast in 95th place among the 100 best wines in the world.

It is produced exclusively with Nerello Mascalese grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hand between the end of September and the beginning of October. After a soft pressing with a short cold maceration on the skins, the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 3 weeks. Subsequently the wine matures in the same containers and continues the second fermentation by refermentation in the bottle, resting on the lees and fine lees for 20 months before disgorgement. It remains to refine another 6 months in the bottle before being placed on the market.

This Etna Rosé Brut is characterized by an onion skin pink color and a fine and persistent perlage. The nose brings elegant hints of dried flowers, acaia honey, enriched with notes of cloves and cinnamon. On the palate it is mineral and has excellent acidity, soft and persistent.

Excellent as an aperitif, it is ideal to combine with appetizers, roast beef and fish-based dishes.
