Description

Contrada Cavaliere Etna Rosso is an exceptional expression of Etna’s volcanic terroir—elegant, mineral-driven, and full of character. What makes this Etna Rosso truly unique is its provenance from a celebrated contrada, or vineyard district, on the northern slopes of Mount Etna. This specific location benefits from a cooler microclimate and mineral-rich volcanic soil that imparts a distinctive character and depth to the wine.

Sicily, in southern Italy, is known for its diverse wine styles. The region’s varied climates and volcanic soils produce excellent Nero d’Avola, a robust red wine, and Grillo, a crisp white wine. Sicily also excels in producing fortified Marsala. The wines from this region are characterized by their balance, vibrant acidity, and distinctive regional character. Nero d’Avola wines are known for their bold fruit flavors and smooth tannins, while Grillo offers crisp acidity and flavors of citrus and stone fruit.
