Representing Sicilian excellence and tradition, their winery cultivates native varieties in historic districts, combining traditional methods and modern technology to produce top quality wines.

750 mlEtna Rosso “Contrada Pietrarizzo” is a pure expression of nerello mascalese, produced in the esteemed Tenuta Tornatore cru, historically renowned for the exceptional quality of its grapes. Delicate and remarkably balanced on the nose, with evident notes of small red fruits and florals, seamlessly integrated with mineral character and evolution. On the palate, it boasts impressive structure while delivering surprising drinkability and elegance before ending with a resounding finish.
Pair this with rich meats or any kind of pasta with tomato based-sauces. If you want to keep it traditional then try alongside eggplant caponata.
